Diagnose whether a problem in cyber attack simulation is one of design, resourcing or discipline.
Cyber Attack Simulation for Testing Organisational Readiness
Turn cyber attack simulation from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Vendors sell cyber attack simulation as a product; it behaves in practice as a change programme. Boards are asking for measurable returns from this part of digital and data-driven work, not demonstrations. Participants apply the wider digital and data-driven work agenda to their own transformation programme throughout, so the output is directly usable. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with cyber attack simulation. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on this aspect of digital and data-driven work and revise it on evidence. Where the digital and data-driven work discipline is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. Moving cyber attack simulation from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It treats this aspect of digital and data-driven work as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the wider digital and data-driven work agenda that would make a visible difference.
Expected Learning Outcomes

Set retention, lineage and deletion rules for the data flowing through cyber attack simulation.
Establish monitoring that detects model or service degradation in cyber attack simulation before users report it.
Test the organisation's response to cyber attack simulation under conditions that are less than ideal.
