Ben Wilkens - October 1, 2025

For executives and incident responders in the trucking industry, the Incident Response: When Seconds Count session at the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. (NMFTA)™  Cybersecurity Conference offers strategic value that you can apply immediately.

This session, set for 10:50-11:30 am ET on Monday, October 27, brings together top-tier incident responders—including VicOne’s Amadou Kane and Airiam’s Art Ocain—to unpack what sets a successful incident response apart from becoming a headline-worthy disaster.

Ahead of the next cybersecurity crisis, this session empowers executives and incident response teams to strengthen detection, containment, and recovery using the tools already in place in their organizations. This means that you will leave with a sharper sense of how best to leverage existing investments to prepare for, contain, and recover quickly from cybersecurity incidents when they do occur. The focus will be on maximizing returns from your current investments in security and planning strategically for prioritized future capital expenses.

This presentation emphasizes that every decision matters, and every lost second can carry consequences. By understanding this urgency, you’ll be in a better position to prioritize training, refine your response workflows, and align your internal stakeholders around faster, leaner and more effective responses when a cybersecurity incident occurs.

Attending this session will equip you with strategic clarity on optimizing your current resources for incident response and organizational resilience. This clarity translates directly into ROI: Reduced downtime, lower financial and reputational losses, and enhanced confidence in your team’s capability to act decisively under pressure.

Incident Response: When Seconds Count session will deliver high-impact, no-fluff insights into how you can win in the incident response race where every second counts.
