Why this workshop?
Incident response is not a paper process – it’s teamwork under pressure. In this workshop, all participants take on their real-life role in a realistic cyber crisis simulation (e.g. ransomware or cloud data breach).
The facilitator feeds the team with new 'injects': forensic findings, signs of escalating threats, supplier issues or technical complications. Every decision is made out loud, assigned, and logged on a clear timeline. After each round, a short ‘hot wash’ captures improvement points immediately.
This exercise leads to demonstrable process improvement and awareness – far more effective than rewriting policy periodically.
What will you learn?
- How to escalate, communicate and decide quickly and effectively under time pressure
- How to identify and improve gaps in runbooks and agreements
