Addressing Vulnerabilities By Integrating Your Incident Response Plans

Event: DRI Collegiate Conference - University of St. Thomas - April 23 2016

Author: Brian Coates

Oil and gas companies face unique environmental and human risks that require immediate response and reporting. Due to these risks and requirements, organizations have developed mature emergency response and/or incident response procedures. However, non-production risks tend to be treated as isolated events that have limited impact to the organization as a whole. In this presentation, we will talk about the need for an integrated approach to coordinate notification, escalation and response activities among all parties, including Information Technology, third party vendors, financial services, etc., to accelerate incident response, enforce playbook-driven standard operating procedures, and streamline investigative workflows.
