Enterprise Recovery
Cyber Wargaming
Cyber Wargaming helps organisations evaluate and improve their cyber incident response preparedness. Nothing can test an organisation’s readiness better than cyber wargaming exercises that simulate a real attack.
Challenges
An interactive technique that immerses potential cyber incident responders in a simulated cyber scenario.
Cyber incidents will occur that require agility and sound judgement in the face of the unknown. These events call for concerted engagement by many organisational functions, including risk management, legal, public affairs, talent management and technology. Interaction may be required with a wide range of external third parties, including industry peers, regulators, law enforcement and vendors providing support functions. Just like a firedrill exercise practice makes perfect. Our experience is that testing the incident response plan with real scenarios through a gameplay gives the best insights into the organisation’s actual resilience.
To reduce damage and impact, organisations need to have the ability to:
- Efficiently assess and determine the scope of the event;
- Act decisively to contain the impact and preserve forensic information;
- Determine when to engage or report to law enforcement and/or regulatory bodies;
- Manage communications to control public and investor perception; and
- Activate business continuity and recovery mechanisms.
Our approach
Tailored scenarios are played out using one of our delivery models, aligned to the maturity of your participants. These exercises are designed to encourage participants to think and act through the decision-making process in a safe environment.
We have a well-refined five-stage simulation methodology that we use to design and deliver our simulations. This methodology has been refined and proven through the delivery of cyber simulations at numerous global banks and organisations across a broad range of industry sectors.
Our approach incorporates a tried and tested approach to designing, delivering and facilitating an exercise with an industry-leading understanding of the technical, operational and strategic responses required for a business to successfully respond to a major cyber crisis.
We have extensive experience of helping clients respond to live incidents, supporting them in resolving the technical, regulatory and reputational impacts of an incident.
Our global scale and cross-sector client base means that we have encountered the majority of cyber incidents. We are able to draw on our wealth of first-hand experience in order to make our exercises truly accurate.
