| Description: |
On March 10th, AFCEA Atlanta will host Vanguard
Shield, a tabletop exercise bringing together
representatives from Federal, State, Local and
Industry for an afternoon collaborating on
responding to threats to critical infrastructure.
These exercises were inspired by the Jack Voltaic
series of exercises developed by the Army Cyber
Institute at West Point. This exercise is free to
attend for registrants of the AFCEA Atlanta
National Security Conference.
The coordinated cybersecurity preparedness
exercise is meant to assess how events impacting
critical infrastructure will be handled. The
scenario changes each year but typically involves
a large trigger event and flows over the course of
several turns evaluating real world impacts across
multiple domains. Threats may come from a wide
variety of cyber-related threats and challenges,
such as state-sponsored hackers, espionage,
hacktivists, ransomware and insider threats,
inspired by recent events over the years. |
