REGISTER HERE FOR THIS EVENT We have created a scenario in which an organization is facing a cyber-attack. The scenario will be shared with a group of four selected students from the AI, CRYM, SEM and TM MPS programs in SCS. Two weeks ahead of the day of the event, they will be given a series of questions covering technical, risk management, and cyber threat intelligence to address and prepare for the day of the event. On the day of the event, students will provide their answers. For each answer provided, a panel of three experts will comment on their response and enhance alternative perspectives on the solutions presented, i.e. how they would have done things differently.
