The Alan Hotel, 18 Princess Street, Manchester M1 4LG United Kingdom

It's a normal workday and the computers at your global offices stop working as applications and systems running on your network shut down. Employee’s pass-cards stop working, the phones are down, the lights go out and operations grind to a halt.

Experience a cyber-attack along with an intimate group of your peers, where you will be assigned a role on the leadership team in a pseudo company, working through the critical hours of a ransomware negotiation. You’ll be faced with challenges and critical decision points as you participate in an action-packed agenda that has a crafted story pulled directly from today’s news headlines of known network breaches that have hit some of the biggest companies globally this past year.

How confident are you in your company’s disaster recovery plan?
Can it protect your company’s data, your customer and employee private data?
Can you get your systems up and running? What risk does your organisation face?

You’ll be guided through your journey by security experts from Commvault and Pure Storage and you will leave with an actionable toolkit and recommendations to review against your own company’s disaster recovery plan.

Our goal is to make you and your fellow attendees simulate being the centre of a unique, complex story that is ripped from today’s news headlines. You’ll have 2 hours to navigate the cyber-attack demands and determine the next steps to save your company’s data and get your business up and running.

9:30am – 10:00am - Arrival, registration, and networking.
10:00am – 10:20am - Welcome & meet the Commvault and Pure Storage teams, plus learn about your role for the workshop and goals for the event.
