"I intend to use the information of the course as we have developed a cyber incident response, a kind of prepared pack for micro or small businesses. So, it will be a matter of revising that against what we have learned today so what we can ensure that it’s consistent with NCSC-approved materials and training and cascading the right knowledge to the audience who would not be able to access or take the time out for formal training like this. The idea for us is that we give them a structured plan that they can follow like a recipe."

"I must say that this is a fantastic program which gives us not only the technical element of it but more importantly how we can make the organization more resilient from the cyber threat. I will certainly recommend this course for people to understand how they can understand the cyberthreat and make their organization more resilient." Dhirendra Kumar - Head of Cyber Resilience - Barcalys Investment Bank

"The feedback for me is that biggest thing for me to take away is to educate people to prepare for when something happens rather than to protect themselves from something never happening. That's why I am going to feedback in to the materials on what I am speaking to the clients going forward." Grace Hulse - North West Cyber Resilience Centre

“Thanks for today's training. Following the news coming, this is a great platform for us particularly when we do wire training and when we give free advice to companies who want consultancies. This is absolutely crucial to relay the message that this is absolutely what they need to do. Particularly for SMEs which don't have the resources or budget. We use that knowledge in our training material.” MJ- North West Cyber Resilience Centre

"Thank you for giving this training. By the way, it's been very useful. I find it particularly interesting to use it in my university studies as I am studying computer forensics and security. So, the incident response side will be very useful to feed into my general knowledge, and I will be able to feed into further queries and stuff like that when I go into the industry." Ethan Dennison - North West Cyber Resilience Centre

“I will look forward to getting the slide packs and the additional stuff. Yeah, I think I'm going to get a lot of use from this and the other stuff that has put us on getting to start from scratch, or pretty much, rip up and start again in order to prepare the process, policies and that kind of stuff around security management programs at my place. So, a lot of these kinds of stuff are really relevant right now and it’s given me a lot to think about.”

"I went through the virtual training on 27th June, 2020. It was a one day course and I was one of the participants for the virtual online content. Obviously that was due to COVID-19 as far as with just a go constraint. I found the virtual setup worked very well then several meetings and presentation through online with mixed success. But this presentation in the use, kept all the participants engaged and we had small discussions of 10-15 minutes back into the larger forum. The advantage as well of the virtual training was, the participation was from the worldwide. So, obviously I am in the United States and we had students from the Europe, United Kingdom, Canada, and Asia as well. So, there was a diverse group of participants which offered up several unique push backs for the discussion topics. The training content itself was well organized, and scheduled and handouts were professionally done as they definitely helped team to gain knowledge from the material. And the topic itself in the first of the education was designed for everyone whether he is from a non-technical background as he didn't need to be technologist. Folks who were technology focused, they learned more about the policy and considerations for the incident response and they also picked up a good vocabulary understanding of technology in terms of incident response. It was not a situation that you are being trained or taught to pass the test as it was a discussion based on the comments that we were getting from the students' questions and Amar was a conversant in a way as he could be switched on and talk on any topic based on incident response at the drop of the hat as he was not scripted or limited in any way. So, well organized but free flowing enough to be able to tailor the discussion and the material towards the students will bring it up." Erik Dullea - Partner at Husch Blackwell LLP

"So, what have I taken away - Particularly with regards to sales force status and the extent to which that can be influenced or whether or not it's backed up. Our auditing of key suppliers and making sure that what their backup plans are in circumstances where they act as a vulnerability because they are either something we rely on singly and don't have an immediate transfer across somebody else or something on those kinds of lines. So yeah, lots of follow-up points for me." Andrew Cooke - General Counsel - Travelperk

"First of all, thank you for the really interesting two days. It's been very useful. You have an excellent technique of communicating the information. I am applying that pressure to trying to get us to think about things, which is being very helpful. I have got some of these discussion points, I am going to bring to the team just to flush out some of that stuff that we need to mature or do together." Matt McKay - Information Security Specialist - Travelperk
