What is the Virtual Cyber Crisis Simulation?
This is an exercise that will help customers, colleagues and executives understand the cyber risk to their business. In collaboration with AXIS Insurance we have put a cyber crisis scenario together that you can be part of, virtually!
Conducted via webinar you can be part of a simulated, major cyber incident as it develops before your very eyes! What will the high-level stakeholders do? How will the debate unfold between individuals and departments when the business is compromised? Which way will you vote? And how will the result impact the business?
It's extremely useful, educational and helps assist in creating your own cyber risk and cyber awareness strategy.
How does it work?
Dan Thonton - co-Founder and CEO at GoldPhish, alongside guest speakers; Sharif Gardner - Head of Cyber Training and Advisory Services for AXIS, and Simon West - Cyber Adviser at AXIS will role play as individuals in a fictitious company. One might be from the IT team stuck in a debate with a member of the Sales team competing for resources and time. As conflict ensues at each informational inject, it is the audience that plays the CEO of the fictitious company to vote on which key facts or stakeholder they will back. After each vote, Dan, Simon and Sharif will discuss the challenges and realities to the answers in a cyber risk context.
How long does it take?
Around 60 minutes but can depend on engagement and voting. If the votes are evenly split, this can often lead to more discussion around why one answer is more favorable than another.
Who is eligible?
If you are a partner of GoldPhish, or looking to become part of our partner programme, we would welcome you to join us. Why not invite some of your own clients too? It’s on a complimentary basis. Completely free of charge! We’re just keen for involvement so more individuals become more cyber aware!
Who should attend?
We encourage as diverse a group of participants as possible. Ideally attendees from legal, finance, IT, corporate communications, sales, compliance, security, HR and operation teams.
There is a 250 participation limit - assigned on a first come first served basis. Participation voting is anonymous through Sli.do.
