Cyber Risk and Business Resilience
Overview
Could your business survive a cyber attack?
Cyber incidents are no longer just an IT issue - they are a leadership and business resilience challenge. This immersive, in-person event gives you the opportunity to experience a live cyber attack simulation and test how you would respond when it really matters.
What you’ll experience
You will take part in a guided, realistic cyber-attack scenario designed to mirror the pressures of a real incident. As the situation unfolds, you’ll be asked to make time-critical decisions, respond to new information, and manage the wider business impact.
This is not a lecture or a presentation — it’s a hands-on experience that shows how cyber incidents affect leadership, operations, reputation, and recovery.
Delivered by leading cyber security experts from the Kent & Medway Cyber Cluster, Cognitas Global and GOACO. The session uses the view360global simulation platform to place you directly in the role of a decision-maker during a fast-moving cyber crisis. No technical knowledge is required.
