Cyber disaster response: development of simulation exercises

This face to face training course was delivered by the Computer Emergency Response Team of Mauritius (CERT-MU) in collaboration with ITU Academy and with support from the Global Gateway initiative of the European Union. The training provides participants with essential steps and guidelines for designing effective cybersecurity exercises, focusing on the practical aspects of information security, and emphasizes developing cyber disaster response simulations that foster collaboration between the public and private sectors.

OBJECTIVES:

• Develop incident response and crisis management plans

• Design a cyber security simulation exercise

• Execute simulation exercises such as TTX and technical simulations

• Develop effective communication plans for an effective interaction with all actors during a crisis.
