About the Course
This practical, scenario-based training course is specifically designed for key decision-makers, including senior leadership, IT managers, and operational heads, equipping them with the essential skills and confidence to respond effectively to a cyber incident. Participants will engage in realistic, hands-on simulations that mimic actual cyber threats—such as ransomware attacks, data breaches, and phishing incidents—allowing them to experience the pressure and decision-making challenges that occur during a live cyber event.
The course takes a strategic approach to incident response, guiding participants through the critical stages of incident management & Response, including threat identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident analysis. The emphasis is on ensuring key stakeholders can make informed decisions, coordinate an effective response, and minimise business disruption.
Key features of the course include:
Real-World Cyber Attack Scenarios: Simulations tailored to the organisation’s sector, risk profile, and regulatory requirements.
Incident Response Frameworks:Â Practical application of industry best practices, including NIST and ISO 27001.
Strategic Communication Exercises:Â Handling internal and external communications with stakeholders, customers, and regulatory bodies.
Leadership in Crisis:Â Training decision-makers to respond under pressure, allocate resources effectively, and maintain business continuity.
Tailored Action Plans: Each participant will leave with a clear, actionable incident response plan to strengthen their organisation’s resilience.
By focusing on leadership roles and strategic decision-making, this course empowers organisations to build resilience, enhance their cyber incident response readiness, and foster cross-functional collaboration in the face of cyber threats.
