Under Pressure: What Cyber Can Learn from First Responders
summary
Panel reports that 77% reporting service as core motivator, that daily micro‑drills plus periodic multi‑unit exercises and follow‑the‑sun playbooks and daily drills make incident response reliable, and cites concrete outcomes: New York City Cyber Command formed after a 2015–2017 collaboration, FBI/industry shared DarkSide IOCs to 120 agencies on May 7, 2021, and Gartner predicts ~50% cyber leaders will change jobs by 2025. Recommendations: codify leader intent, build small trusted teams, fund counseling and routine training.
