Systems have gone down. Customers are asking questions. The clock is ticking. What happens next? 

Join Databarracks at Fazeley Studios, Birmingham on Tuesday 29 September for an immersive cyber crisis simulation. 

Anatomy of a Crisis is a highly interactive, executive-level cyber recovery wargame designed to help organisations understand how they would respond to and recover from a serious cyber attack. Using Databarracks’ purpose-built simulation platform, you will work through a realistic crisis scenario inspired by a high-profile cyber incident, making critical decisions and experiencing the consequences in real time. 

To get the most out of the experience, please bring your laptop, tablet or mobile device and a charger.

What to expect

During this half-day event, you will take part in an expert-led cyber recovery wargame that guides you through the key stages of a major cyber incident: 

  • Initial response and containment 
  • Crisis communications and stakeholder management 
  • Customer protection and operational decision-making 
  • Recovery priorities and service restoration 

Working alongside resilience, cyber security and business leaders from a range of organisations, you will gain practical insight into the pressures and challenges faced during a live crisis. 

What you will take away 
  • Practical lessons drawn from a real-world cyber attack
  • A clearer understanding of the decisions that shape recovery
  • Insight into how your organisation can strengthen its resilience
  • A stronger foundation for effective incident response and recovery
  • A personalised report highlighting your response strengths and key learnings

 

Spaces are limited to ensure an engaging and collaborative experience. 

I didn’t know generally what to expect today but I was thoroughly impressed with today’s event. Generally one of the most interesting engaging events I’ve been to in a long long time. The variety of the Q&A and people involved was fantastic, thank you.

Dominic Howson, Chief Transformation Officer, Virdor

 

I’m really loving it. It’s a fantastic location. The real-time feedback has been really helpful and helped me understand how I could expand on my responses for a cyber crisis with Databarracks at the Crisis Management Scenario.
