Enter the War Room- Crisis Simulations (Retail)
Courtney Gus, AVP of Crisis Management at Semperis, moderates a retail-focused cybersecurity simulation titled Enter the War Room. The session features a simulated engagement between a red team, acting as a disruptive nation-state actor named Check Out Chaos, and a blue team, acting as an incident response team for a fictitious grocery chain, Blue Cart. The exercise walks through various stages of a cyberattack, including reconnaissance, initial access via IoT and third-party vendors, privilege escalation in OT networks, and the deployment of ransomware. The blue team responds with defensive strategies such as network segmentation, deploying honey pots, and incident response playbooks. The simulation concludes with a discussion on ransom negotiations, reputational damage, and post-incident after-action reporting.
