Expecting the unexpected: how to become resilient

Themes: Security and compliance

Learn how to safeguard your systems and turn disaster preparation into a strategic advantage!

Bad things can happen; as cyberattacks and system complexity increase, virtually any system might suffer a disastrous event. How can we limit the damage to our stakeholders and organisation if that happens?

In this interactive workshop, you'll explore real-world disaster scenarios, identify consequences, and assess resilience techniques such as canary releases, failover replication, customer communication and off-site logging.

Using case studies and practical tools, you'll learn how to limit harm, recover quickly, and empower your organisation to handle crises effectively.

Suitable for software professionals, this session provides actionable insights, a framework for resilience assessments and materials to run similar workshops with your team.

Resilience engineering for software is a new topic that research predicts will become increasingly important over the next few years. This workshop provides an exciting introduction to it.

Audience:

This workshop is suitable for anyone involved in software development. While new, it draws on extensive research in resilience engineering outside the software domain and applies proven techniques. Workshop materials will be made publicly available for participants to use within their teams.

Participant takeaways:

• An understanding of resilience engineering for disaster planning
• Awareness of affordable resilience techniques as practical disaster ‘insurance’
• A framework and materials to conduct similar workshops within their teams

This session:

• Includes interaction
• Has a number cap: 45 participants
