A simulation WARgame to complement the series of Insider attack training that was organised for members of the Northern WARP collaborative.
About this Event
Insider Attack: A Northern WARP Training & WarGame
What’s the event about?

This event is a simulation of two separate Insider attack scenarios which will exercise your understanding, knowledge and decision making.

Insider threats, a priority of the Northern WARP, is an area of cybersecurity that poses a significant risk to the security and confidentiality of sensitive information. This Northern WARP event complements the series of three training sessions on Insider Attack that was delivered by Arculus Cyber Security in Feb-Mar 2024.

You do not have to have attended any of the training sessions as a pre-requisite to attend this WARGame. However, those that did attend the training sessions will find this opportunity useful to apply theory learned during the training courses in simulated practice.

What’s on the agenda?

The event is divided into two sessions. The morning session focuses on a 'disgruntled employee' scenario. In this scenario, a trusted employee with access to confidential data is exfiltarting this data to an external source during and outside of regular business hours.

The afternoon session focuses on a 'malicious contractor' scenario. In this scenario, a third-party contractor or agency worker with temporary privileged access acts maliciously.

Who can attend?

This WARGame is open to organisations within the Northern WARP. This includes all iNetwork members (incl NW WARP members and YH WARP members), and also ISNorthEast WARP members.

Attendance is not limited to the specific individuals that are members of the WARPS… any colleague from your organisation can attend as long as your organisation is a WARP member.

We welcome both a non-technical and a technical audience to this event.
