Synopis

In a serious security incident, technical expertise is only half the story. The other half is whether your team can actually work together when it matters communicating clearly, making fast decisions with incomplete information, and maintaining trust when the pressure is on. 

This hands-on workshop tackles exactly that. Using a real-world cyber-attack scenario, participants will apply the military-proven OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) to work through a live network containment crisis as a team, against the clock.
