From chaos to calm: Making your organisation cyber resilient by designing and executing a CME from scratch
Building and running a crisis management exercise from scratch gives participants a repeatable model they can take back to their own organisation.
Session Details
A workshop to develop the skills to design, build and execute a crisis management Exercise. The workshop has two parts: the first is designing and building an exercise, and the second is running the exercise you built in part 1.
We build a custom scenario that will be able to be taken back to your organisation. We break down how such an exercise is structured and facilitated in real time, how decisions are made under pressure across departments (IT, legal, comms, and execs), and how to run a retrospective without blame.
Key areas;
- Stakeholder Identification
- Relative scenario development (No Dinosaurs)
- Use of GEN AI* Roles and Responsibilities
- From a people perspective, they reveal how your team members or organisation behaves under pressure.
- Managing and directing; exercise execution
- A step-by-step walk-through of how an incident unfolds, from initial user report through to investigation, confirmed breach, containment actions, and escalation into a full organisational crisis involving legal, comms, and external parties.
- Focus on how decisions are made, what actions are taken, and simulate the pressure build up.
- Enhancing post-exercise activities
After we complete all of the above, we test you in a live exercise built by your team. We debrief openly and assess opportunities for improvement. Taking all of this back to your company
