Dive headfirst into this intense, hour-long pressure-cooker experience where every decision counts! You’ll experience firsthand how physical and digital events intertwine and how local and state actors converge, highlighting the urgent need for teamwork, creativity, and a forward-thinking mindset. Anything can happen in a crisis situation, but are you ready when it happens to you? In this high-stakes session, you’ll find yourself entangled in a live-action scenario led by a cyber collective – the infamous Web Attack Party – unleashing disruptive effects across the Netherlands.
Drawing inspiration from real-life events, things quickly go from bad to worse. What starts as a focused cyberattack quickly spirals into chaos, with unexpected events hitting critical sectors like energy, logistics, and healthcare. Unavailability and manipulation of systems and websites, supply chain incidents, social engineering, advanced persistent threats (APTs), extortion, data breaches, personal intimidation, and possibly even physical harm, anything can happen.
We won’t disclose too much of the scenario, but expect at least weird signals and unexplainable radio messages, monitoring systems flashing GAME OVER repeatedly, sabotage and of course public outcry and political agitation.
But not all is lost! Every crisis can be managed. It’s just up to you and your team to keep calm and steer the affected organization(s) back to calmer waters. Will you rise to the challenge of Operation 4rm4geddon and be the leader your organization needs when the unthinkable becomes reality?
