Internet of Things Cyber Simulation
The Internet of Things (IoT) is shorthand for the network of physical objects ("things") that are connected by sensors and software that retrieve and provide data to other connected devices - and people. IoT keeps us connected in our homes, offices, around the city, and beyond; in some cases far beyond with the use of drones, cloud applications, and satellite computing. This simulation focuses on the possible value and risks associated with cybersecurity of IoT. Any organizational leader looking to increase data stewardship, safety, and security should participate in this simulation. All local leaders are welcome. The objective of the simulation is outlined below.
- Provide a certified test of incident management plans.
- Baseline current cybersecurity and risk management work capabilities.
- Strengthen the leadership skills of managers responsible for risk planning and incident resolution.
- Improve the quality of the incident management plans and playbook details.
- Develop immediate action plans to strengthen people, processes, and technical security controls.
