The day

Our Cyber Recovery Wargame is built around a multi-layered scenario, spanning both cyber and physical domains…

You are a senior executive in charge of handling the response. As the crisis unfolds, you will be guided through how to co-ordinate the overall response and given a view through the lens of various roles at the organisation.

 

The day combines an interactive exercise with expert training to demonstrate cyber resilience best practice, including:

  • The latest cyber threats and an overview of the risk landscape
  • How to co-ordinate multiple teams, both internal and external, in the response to a cyber attack
  • Crisis communications – how to keep your stakeholders happy
  • The technical and operational considerations to help you recover your business

Who is the masterclass
suitable for?

The masterclass is ideal for senior business leaders and decision-makers responsible for technology, operations, cyber security, business continuity, resilience and risk teams.

Whether you are part of a response team, or you are responsible for your business resilience capabilities, this day is for you.

We recommend bringing 2 or more attendees from multiple departments.

Workshop

In our fully interactive event, we will immerse you in a fictitious cyber attack scenario, and ask you to play the role of the senior management team. We’ll step through the response, from the initial impacts through to business recovery.

Our scenario has three components:
– The initial discovery of a system intrusion and the rapid escalation of the crisis
– The incident response by expert forensics teams
– The business recovery once the cyber-attack has been contained

With real-life examples from teams who have helped hundreds of companies to prepare for, respond to and recover from cyber-attacks, you will leave our Wargame with a clear understanding of best practice for integrated business and technology resilience.
