Kent & Medway Cyber Cluster – Cyber Risk and Resilience

Could your business survive a cyber attack?
Cyber incidents are no longer just an IT problem. They are a leadership, operational and business resilience challenge. This in-person event gives Kent businesses the opportunity to step into a realistic cyber incident scenario and experience how decisions are made when pressure is high, information is incomplete, and the clock is working against you.
What this event is about
You will take part in a guided, realistic cyber attack scenario designed to reflect how real incidents unfold in organisations. As the situation develops, you will be asked to make time-critical decisions, respond to evolving information, and manage the wider business impact. This includes operational disruption, reputational risk, legal considerations and recovery planning.
This is not a lecture and not a technical deep dive. It is a hands-on experience focused on leadership, judgement and resilience.
The session is delivered by cyber security specialists from the Kent & Medway Cyber Cluster, Cognitas Global and GOACO, using the award-winning view360global simulation platform. No technical knowledge is required.
