A Canadian Cybersecurity Readiness Exercise
siberX is excited to announce a first of its kind cybersecurity readiness table top exercise (TTX). This cyber breach simulation event is designed to strengthen Canada’s cybersecurity readiness and response strategies.
This event brings together Public and Private sector stakeholders along with the Canadian Cybersecurity community to discuss how their organizations would respond to such an attack.
Participants will collaborate closely to contain and minimize the impact of the simulated attack, showcasing their strategies for recovery and response.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
