Orange Cyberdefense Live 2023
In the heat of the crisis
Get ready for the hottest cybersecurity event of the year! We are proud to present the 3d edition of Orange Cyberdefense Live - In the heat of the crisis! This year, we are turning up the heat and focusing on cyber crisis management. Just like a well-executed fire drill, having a solid plan in place is crucial. Because when it comes to cybersecurity, playing with fire can lead to disastrous consequences.
We'll show you how a robust cyber crisis management plan, with the right people, processes, and technology, can minimize downtime and maximize recovery, ensuring your organization stays resilient.
What sets this year's event apart? This year, we're going bigger and bolder! In one day, you will be able to immerse yourself in interactive sessions on the topics of your choice. You'll be able to participate in breakout sessions, technological demos, and lots of networking opportunities. On top of that, you'll be able to enjoy lots of culinary treats.
Join the city of Genk, the hospital of Mol, an international hostage negotiator, pentesting masters, Generative AI experts, Cyber Crisis Consultants, and others on November 9 in Edegem (Antwerp) and truly immerse yourself in the world of firefighting.
It's going to be lit!

You can select one of three available options for each breakout session.
1. Before the crisis
What can you do to prevent a cyber-attack, and how to prepare for one?

2. During the crisis

(The options will be announced shortly.)
3. After the crisis
How to recover from a cyber-attack and learn from it?
Cyber-attack: the day after (and much longer)
The H.H. Hospital of Mol found itself in the heat of two crises...
In the middle of a full corona pandemic, they were hit by a cyber-attack. What were the immediate consequences? What was the impact on the healthcare provision? How did the hospital respond to the ransom demand? How did the recovery go? What are the long-term effects on the hospital and its employees?
Dr. Ivo Jacobs will take you through the true story of the cyber-attack, from A to Z. He will openly share what happened and what the consequences were. Next to that, he will share how they will extinguish new threats in the future based on the lessons learned.
Ignite your crisis management skills and re-live the cyber-attack with him!
