The Goal

COVID-19 has created significant disruption to many organisations’ digital landscape. Managing the security of this landscape was already an extremely daunting task for most, but when compounded with the current crisis environment, it becomes an almost impossible job to keep a sophisticated attacker out.

Now more than ever it is ‘WHEN rather than IF’ you will face a cyber-attack impact. So, ensuring that your key stakeholders and management team are prepared to effectively manage any attack and deal with the numerous implications for ongoing staff and operations management, along with protecting reputation is becoming even more critical.

The Exercise

This Cyber Attack Simulation Exercise allows organisations to connect virtually from the safety of their offices and homes, play out the scenario online, evaluate decision-making and resources in real time, and come away with valuable insights that can translate immediately into actions and improvements. Working with you to understand your unique risks and vulnerabilities, Standby’s experienced team of resilience practitioners will facilitate you through the exercise and work with you post exercise to make the most of the outcomes and lessons learnt.

As exercise participants, your team members will play one of four different key positions in the crisis management team, working to effectively navigate the crisis injects in real time and try to minimise any disruption and impact on the business.

The exercise is played in a web-app that simulates a virtual desktop where you can chat with different stakeholders, check emails, make decisions and more.
