Behind the Breach, Episode 1: Inside the First 24 Hours of a Breach

by | Apr 15, 2026 | Cyber Risk, Podcast

When a ransomware attack hits, the first 24 hours shape how an organization responds.

In the first episode of Behind the Breach, we walk through a simulated cyber incident in real time — following a fictional company from initial detection through containment, investigation, and the path toward stability.

Joined by Cowbell’s Resiliency Services leaders, Matthieu Chan Tsin and Joe Hoosech, this episode explores what actually happens inside an organization during a breach — not in theory, but in practice.

You’ll hear:

  • What the earliest signs of an attack look like
  • How teams move from detection to containment
  • The role of incident response planning in the first hours
  • How forensic investigations begin
  • What stability looks like after the initial disruption

This is a narrative walkthrough designed to help brokers and business leaders better understand how cyber incidents unfold — and how response takes shape in real time. Listen now. 

Behind the Breach is a Cowbell podcast exploring what happens inside a cyber incident — and what organizations can learn before one happens to them.

Guest: Matthieu Chan Tsin, Head of Resiliency Services, Cowbell, and Joe Hoosech, Principal, Cowbell Resiliency Services–Incident Response

Host: Amber Wuollet, Director of Product & Lifecycle Marketing, Cowbell
