Imagine This...
It's a normal workday.
Employees are logging in, meetings are underway, and business is running as usual.
Then, without warning, everything changes.
Applications stop responding. Critical systems go offline. Employees can't access the building. Customer services become unavailable. Phones stop working. Your executive team is looking to you for answers.
The clock is ticking.
What do you do next?
Step Into the Crisis
Minutes to Meltdown is more than a workshop - it's an interactive cyber crisis experience.
Together with a small group of peers, you'll become part of the executive leadership team of a fictional organization facing a live ransomware attack. As the scenario unfolds, you'll receive new information, face unexpected challenges, and make critical business decisions in real time.
There are no spectators.
Every decision you make influences what happens next.
Guided by Commvault cyber resilience experts, you'll experience the pressure, collaboration, and decision-making required during the first critical hours of a cyber incident.
