Building Resilient Cyber Incident Response Frameworks

In this episode of Risk Leaders Connect, cybersecurity expert Mo Phillip shares practical strategies for building effective incident response and recovery frameworks in today’s high-risk digital landscape.

Drawing on nearly two decades of experience—including a decade advising the UK government on nation-state threats—Mo explains why organizations must shift from a prevention-only mindset to one focused on resilience and rapid recovery. He highlights the growing risks from ransomware, AI data poisoning, and supply chain attacks, stressing that it’s not a question of if but when a cyber incident will occur.

Mo outlines what makes a response framework effective: it must be cross-functional, testable, and based on real-world threat intelligence. From implementing strong triage processes and centralized monitoring (via SOCs and SIEMs), to conducting regular tabletop exercises and aligning with standards like ISO 27001 and NIST, Mo emphasizes that preparedness involves the entire business—not just IT.

He also introduces the gold-silver-bronze command model for structured incident leadership and shares lessons on communication pitfalls, third-party risks, and post-incident learning.

This session is a must-listen for security leaders, risk managers, and executives seeking actionable insight into cyber resilience, operational readiness, and the realities of responding to today’s evolving threat landscape.
