#  The Breaches Are Coming: What to Do Before and After a Breach

**Presentation Date:** 27 October 2021

**Duration:** 1:29:02

**Return to:** [AuDacity Archive](https://www.audiologist.org/audacity-archive)

A data breach and its consequences seem abstract and unlikely until it happens to you. Yet, most people have heard “it’s not if it will happen, but when” an incident will occur. How can audiologists prevent breaches and prepare to respond quickly and effectively to recover with minimal impact if an incident occurs? Learn how to proactively minimize the chance of costly downtime before a breach with free and affordable steps you can implement now, including an incident response plan. Discover how cyber insurance can mitigate some data breach risks and costs. In case a breach occurs, be prepared with specific actions to take, especially the 3 essential things you must do first. It’s the “Stop, Drop, and Roll” of cyber fires!
