I have learnt a lot. With the matrix in the office, I see that something is still missing. But based on what I have learnt today, I can review that matrix again and put more of what you have shared today in there. For some of those things, we have not given much attention or focus so it shows that we need more work to do to fill up those gaps in our organisation.

I enjoyed the training. I feel that there is no company that is 100% secure. The cybersecurity incident response plan course is an eye opener because you realise that you really need to plan for a cybersecurity breach or incident. I think we still have a lot of learning to put into the planning and a lot of management activities which are relatively hard to do. But we will still continue to push, making them understand what security is and what we need to do if such incidents happen.

It really was an informative session for me personally because one of the aspects that I loved about this course specifically is the nature of interaction that we had. It was not in relation to any specific tools or technologies. Rather, it was concept-oriented and used a lot of practical and realistic examples that really helped me personally in thinking with a different perspective. Even though I have been in the security field and have worked in incident response for the last few years, my thought process changed to an extent on how to approach it practically and what is the priority and criticality that we need to focus on as per the incident response programme.

I had the opportunity to attend this CIPR course, delivered by Amar Singh. I found this course very interesting. Today, I have learnt a few things which obviously give me a lot of ideas to work with in my daily operations like the concept of risk management for incident response and planning, and the artefacts which we maintain. These are the two things which added a lot of value to my experience in this field. Apart from this, the important point I have learnt is how to translate technical language into business language and how to address complex situations in a more convincing manner with the management. In a nutshell, this course obviously helped me to understand business needs and how to translate business needs into an incident response plan. I really feel happy and thankful to Amar Singh, and CM-Alliance who designed this course.

I attended this course to enhance my understanding of incident response and planning. In this course, I have enhanced my understanding of corporate communications and how to pursue with the management regarding their buy-in on incident response plans. And the most important aspect that I have learnt from this whole course was how to maintain a list of our critical components and the controls which are implemented on those components. I have also come to know about a new aspect of risk management that could be done for our information assets. So, I am really thankful to Amar Singh for his time and the effort he has put in this training, and I am looking forwards to future guidance from him.

I am very thankful to Amar Singh from CM-Alliance as today, I got a chance to learn new things in cybersecurity. I have been in the industry for 19+ years and I have done PT testing in the initial stages and moved on with the latest technology. But when we try to get in touch with new people who are currently into SOC management or the SIEM, the concept that they have gone through is totally different from my learnings and they are ahead in their understanding of tools, etc. Further, when it comes to explaining the issues before board members, it becomes very difficult for us as we hire salespersons to explain the issues before board directors. But today what we have been taught is how to explain the technical issues to everyone.

This CIPR workshop has helped me a lot because it is concentrated from scratch and the activities are very up to date. I would like to thank the instructor for giving me this opportunity.

I am a freelance compliance and risk management professional providing solutions for customers. This CIPR course was a real eye-opener about how to practically govern the cyber incident response plan. There are a lot of customers who tend to provide feedback if they are not clear about something, especially on technical issues. This course has given us the insight on how to divide the technical and business language take it to the board level and get their buy-in. So, this is a really good course, and we need to follow the learnings from this course as this is a great initiative. It's a good initiative for all the incident management professionals to take this course.
