More information on the exercising events
Exercising your cyber incident response plan helps organisations to establish how resilient they are to a cyber attack and practice their response in a safe environment. Exercising helps to create a culture of learning within an organisation and provides an opportunity for relevant teams and individuals to maximise their effectiveness during an incident.
We have included an agenda and FAQ's and should you have any further questions please contact a member of the team at NICyberbase@finance-ni.gov.uk and we will be happy to help.
