Get hands-on experience in response to a disruption

FS-ISAC is hosting its third annual Cybex Paladin functional exercise, designed specifically for small and mid-sized financial institutions. 

Scenario

The exercise will cover a two-day period that tests the participating organizations’ incident coordination and communication mechanisms in response to a fraudulent account takeover.

Details

During this multi-day exercise, participants will engage in a realistic and challenging cybersecurity-focused exercise scenario. They will be tasked with addressing the ongoing situation using their organization’s existing incident response plans, policies, and procedures, including simulating any necessary internal and external communications, requests for information, technical assistance, etc.

Exercise play can take place alongside real-world work activities, so impacts to organizational productivity should be minimal. Exercise injects will be delivered via email.

Participation

This exercise is designed to test crisis management and business continuity during a fraud focused incident. Therefore, staff involved in fraud, crisis management, customer relations, business continuity/operations, public affairs, and client relations are encouraged to participate. This exercise is not a technical exercise and does not require participation from network defenders or other technical staff.
