Ransomware Wargame Workshop – An Interactive Success!

One of the highlights of our participation this year was our “Ransomware Wargame” workshop held on day two. The response was overwhelming: over 100 participants, incredible feedback, and numerous thought-provoking conversations. We were particularly honored to welcome Carsten Meywirth, Director of Cybercrime at the Federal Criminal Police Office, as our special guest to open the workshop! 

Guided by our SEC Defence expert Christopher Golitschek, participants were immersed in a simulated cyber crisis, navigating tough decisions and exploring solutions to defend a fictitious organization under attack. This hands-on experience provided invaluable insights that would prove essential in real-world ransomware scenarios.
