Cyber Crisis Exercise Simulation

Immerse yourself in a realistic cyber crisis scenario through an interactive simulation designed to challenge participants’ responsiveness, coordination, and decision-making. Based on a tailor-made scenario, this training guides participants through the various stages of a cyberattack, helping them grasp its impacts and practise both operational and strategic crisis management. Participants are encouraged to assume their roles under near-real conditions, identify appropriate responses, and enhance communication between technical, business, and leadership teams.

By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

• Detect early warning signs and triggers of a potential cyber crisis
• Coordinate seamlessly across all stakeholders - technical teams, business units, communications, and management
• Make strategic and operational decisions under pressure, balancing priorities and assessing impacts
• Apply essential procedures and best practices from the cyber crisis management plan

• Introduction to Cyber Crisis Management – Fundamentals, roles and responsibilities, and the link between incidents, crises, and business continuity
• Scenario Presentation – Context, stakeholders, scope, and learning objectives of the simulation
• Exercise Procedure – Real-time simulation of a major cyber incident, including internal, technical, and external communications
• Management and Decision-Making Simulation – Activation of the crisis response system and coordination between technical, communications, and management teams
• Crisis Communication Simulation – Drafting messages for internal and external stakeholders and managing media pressure

At the end of the training, participants will receive a certificate of attendance issued by the House of Training.
