The Prepared Leader: From Crisis to Confidence
Cyber Leadership and the Human Side of Incident Response
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When a cyber incident hits your organisation, it's not just an IT problem – it's a leadership challenge that can last weeks or months. Michala Liavaag explores why traditional tabletop exercises fall short and how leaders can build real resilience through gamified, emotionally engaging preparation that mirrors the psychological pressure of actual incidents.
Michala Liavaag, Cybility Consulting founder and vCISO, blends 25 years of IT experience and a classical music background to create innovative, gamified cybersecurity programmes. Her work empowers organisations in healthcare, government, charity, and business to adopt more effective, creative security practices.
