 Is Your Business Ready for An Attack or Natural Disaster? Act today with a Crisis Simulation from Typetec

Typetec offers 'Crisis Simulation' for businesses like yours to unearth where there may be vulnerabilities in your IT systems. In other words, what would hackers be able to find and take within seconds from your business?  

The goal is to simulate a real-life attack on your systems where we will identify and report back to you the vulnerabilities identified so that you can improve your organisation's ability to respond effectively. 

How does a crisis simulation work?

  • 1.) We will create a scenario that is realistic to your business's potential situations. These scenarios could involve a range of incidents, such as a cyberattack or natural disaster.

  • 2.) We will ask the relevant stakeholders from different departments to participate in the simulation on the day.

  • 3.)  During this process, our team will evaluate the organisation's existing crisis response plans and provide recommendations for improvement based on the findings in the overall simulation.

We recommend that every business undergo a crisis simulation to proactively identify vulnerabilities, enhance its incident response capabilities, and ensure a more resilient and adaptive IT environment in the face of unexpected events.   

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a crisis simulation for IT?

The purpose of a crisis simulation is to test your security posture if an unexpected incident occurs, be it a cyberattack or natural disaster. This structured test simulates a real-world emergency to monitor the business’s readiness to respond to an emergency and identify ways to improve the incident response plan.

What types of scenarios can be simulated in IT crisis simulations?

The typical types of scenarios that are simulated include cybersecurity attacks, system outages, human error occurrences, and supply chain disruptions that impact IT operations.

How are IT crisis simulations conducted?

IT crisis simulations are typically conducted in a controlled environment using scenarios tailored to the organisation’s specific needs and objectives. The simulation may involve tabletop exercises, virtual simulations, or full-scale drills, depending on the complexity and resources available.

Why are crisis simulations important to do?

Crisis simulations are important for any organisation as they enable us to identify gaps in the security posture and incident response plan that need to be rectified to ensure that the business is best equipped to handle an IT emergency.

Who typically participates in IT crisis simulations?

Key participants of the crisis simulation would be the IT and leadership personnel. Depending on the simulation, we may request other teams to participate in the process. This is all predetermined ahead of the day.

How often should IT crisis simulations be conducted?

The frequency of IT crisis simulations may vary depending on factors such as the organisation’s risk profile, industry regulations, and evolving threat landscape. We recommend that an organisation should test their incident response plan at least annually or when significant changes to the IT environment, processes, or personnel have occurred.
