Abstract:

Let us take you on a Crisis Response journey.  Experience a cyber-attack on your organization through a gamified tabletop exercise.  Attendees had the opportunity to participate and have the scenario revolve around the decisions they made.  Facilitated by Accenture’s Cyber Response leads, the simulation exercise shed light and helped identify gaps in attendees’ current understanding of response processes.
