Live FS&I Ransomware Attack & Response Simulation

More than a cyber simulation, this session helps identify where a ransomware event could expose pinch points in your operational resilience, across decision-making, communications, recovery, third-party dependencies and the continuity of important business services.

Can your simulation identify pinch points in your operational resilience? From fragmented decision paths and unclear escalation routes to recovery gaps, supplier dependencies and service restoration delays, this exercise is built to surface where pressure is most likely to build when every minute matters.

Wednesday 6th May, 1pm–5pm

In Financial Services, Resilience Is Not Optional. It Is Mission Critical

  • 90% of FS organisations experienced a cyberattack in the last 12 months.
  • 86% of successful attacks in 2024 resulted in ransom payments.
  • £3.83M the average financial cost of a cyber incident in 2024

In the FS&I sector, downtime doesn't just cost money - it costs your license to operate. With DORA and PRA mandates now dictating "non-negotiable" recovery timelines, a standard backup plan is no longer a defense; it’s a liability.

Join SCC and Assured Data Protection at Mansion House to step into the "War Room." This is not a slideshow. It is a live, high-pressure simulation of a cloud-native breach. You will navigate the critical 60 minutes between detection and recovery, where every decision impacts your regulatory standing and market reputation. See if your current strategy survives the stress test.

This simulation is designed to do more than test incident response. It helps FS&I leaders examine how a cyberattack can disrupt operational resilience in practice, revealing bottlenecks in crisis governance, recovery prioritisation, dependency mapping, internal and external communications, and the ability to keep important business services within tolerance during a live disruption.

During this simulation, you will:

  • Experience the disruption: Navigate a cloud-focused attack scenario that tests not only cyber response, but the resilience of critical services, teams and dependencies under pressure.
  • Expose pinch points: Identify where governance, escalation, communications and recovery processes could slow decision-making or extend service disruption.
  • Improve resilience outcomes: Leave with practical, regulator-aligned actions to strengthen operational resilience, accelerate recovery and reduce the impact on important business services.

What this helps you uncover

  • Where cyber disruption could impact important business services most severely
  • Pinch points in decision-making, escalation and crisis governance
  • Gaps between incident response, disaster recovery and business continuity
  • Hidden dependencies on cloud platforms, data, suppliers and internal teams
  • Whether recovery actions support regulatory expectations for resilience and service continuity

When a live cyber event hits, will your response plan protect systems and will your operational resilience protect services?
