Most organizations will be touched by an IT security incident at some point whether it be a data breach, ransomware or fraud. These complex incidents may draw attention from consumers, the media, customers and partners as well prompt legal and regulatory inquiries. This is when organizations’ crisis communications plans are put to the test. How can organizations control the narrative?
