dealing with a Cyber attack like this
1:33
companies always want to follow three
1:35
steps notify the insurance company
1:38
consult an outside provider and involve
1:40
Federal authorities but most importantly
1:43
stay prepared having those written
1:45
procedures down on what you you know
1:48
what your protection is um what you're
1:50
going to do make sure that you have like
1:52
business continuity plans the best
1:55
prescription is being transparent so be
1:57
transparent be upfront be communic
