Ransomware Exercise Americas

Join us for a member only cyber range exercise

Maximize your cyber defense skills by responding to one of the most widely known ransomware campaigns of the decade

Introducing a new scenario! Attend our one-day, hands-on-keyboard exercise in which participants observe and respond to a realistic Ransomware attack. Participants will respond to a real-world simulated ransomware attack, based on one of the most popular strains of recent years. They will be provided with commercial security tools including a SIEM, firewall and network analysis tools, and will be guided by experienced trainers to benchmark and improve their detection and response skills, as they defend against an adversary’s campaign that incorporates the latest behaviors from the MITRE ATT&CK framework. To maximize the learning experience and engagement for this virtual event it is limited to 24 participants, organized into 3 teams.  Participants will be led through a series of introductory modules in the morning and then jump into the simulated attack in the afternoon.  Instructors will be online to assist with any questions during both the morning modules and the afternoon exercise.

*This event is designed for individual participants to collaborate with peers across the sector.  Therefore, your team will consist of professionals from other member organizations.  If you are interested in hosting a Cyber Range event dedicated to your organization, please reach out to exercises@fsisac.com for more information.
