Breach: lead your team through a simulated cyber crisis

Breach is an immersive, live and in-person simulation, facilitated by our experts, that builds confidence and competence in managing a cybersecurity incident. Designed for leaders and key decision-makers, it gives participants the opportunity to:

Practise effective crisis leadership in a high-pressure environment
Make decisions informed by facts, data, and business context
Improve communication and stakeholder management under stress

How Breach can help your business

In Breach, participants become members of an Incident Response Team (IRT) facing a serious and evolving cybersecurity incident. In the realistic simulation, they are asked to make a series of critical decisions - each with implications for the immediate crisis and long-term business resilience.

Breach develops key leadership capabilities across two high-stakes domains:

Strategic thinking

Making data-driven decisions under uncertainty
Balancing commercial, legal, regulatory, and security demands
Preparing for unpredictable developments with forward-thinking plans

Crisis management

Solving complex problems with limited information
Leading visibly and effectively under pressure
Managing stakeholders and shaping clear, confident communications

Who Breach is for

Breach suits any team that needs to rehearse leading through a cybersecurity incident before a real one arrives. It is most often used for:

Senior leaders and executive sponsors, testing governance, decision-making, and crisis communication at board level
IT and security leadership, aligning a technical response with commercial, legal, and regulatory consequences
Cross-functional incident response teams, rehearsing escalation, coordination, and stakeholder management together

Breach builds the strategic thinking that underpins good decisions under pressure more broadly. Where a scenario needs to reflect your own systems, industry, or regulatory environment, a fully bespoke build is available through our tailor-made simulations.
