Incident Response Simulation

A cyber security incident is an inherently complex situation, requiring a coordinated incident response effort across diverse teams under stressful conditions with decisions being made in pressured circumstances.

It is every employee’s responsibility to follow the guidelines and help to ensure that your organisation is ready to take the appropriate steps to minimise damage to your customers, employees and brand in the event of a data breach.

Simulated incident response exercises allow the team to step through real world scenarios, applying the phases outlined in the incident response plan and playbooks to gain valuable experience in a learning environment, and build a cohesive response capability.

Kaon Security provide tailored interactive cyber security incident response simulation exercises delivered by a lead consultant via an online platform using actual attack scenarios used by adversaries.

Simulation exercises can be conducted with the organisation’s Cyber Incident Response Team (CIRT) with an optional escalation to the Emergency Management Team (EMT). This ensures that both the CIRT and EMT understand each other’s roles and processes to ensure a coordinated response to a cyber security incident.
