You stare at a black screen.
Your colleague next to you does the same.
Phones stop working.
Systems are unreachable.
Nobody fully understands what is happening.
Your organisation is under cyberattack.

In chaotic situations, there is often no clear relationship between cause and effect.
The priority is not perfect analysis.
The priority is to restore order quickly.
That requires fast decisions, rapid action, and clear accountability.
One practical approach is:
Act – Sense – Respond.
Somebody takes action.
The organisation observes whether the action stabilises the situation.
If it helps, reinforce it.
If not, try something else quickly.
In these moments, it becomes critical that people know:
– who is in command
– who decides
– and who executes
Strong hierarchy in a crisis is not mainly about power.
It is about speed, coordination, and reducing confusion under pressure.
