Riskonnect Sponsored Webinar: Building a Comprehensive Testing Program for True Resilience
04/15/2025 - 04/15/2025Many organizations assume they are resilient—but without a well-structured, rigorous testing program, how can you be sure? A truly resilient organization doesn’t just test once a year and hope for the best. Instead, it implements a comprehensive, continuous testing strategy to uncover gaps, validate preparedness, and build confidence in its ability to withstand disruptions.
Join Jamie Goodloe, lead managed services consultant at Riskonnect, as she breaks down the essential elements of an effective testing program — one that moves beyond a check-the-box approach and provides real, actionable insights.
You’ll learn how to:
- Break down testing silos across IT and the business
- Design and implement a holistic testing strategy
- Define and identify critical roles to support your testing program
- Accomplish end-to-end testing in a hybrid environment
- Translate testing results into resilient posture metrics
