How often do you practice?
Cyberattacks are becoming more advanced, is your cyber crisis response keeping up?
Welcome to the Cyber Chain Resilience Consortium (CCRC), where a diverse group of partners from both the public and private sectors join forces to help organizations within a supply chain collaborate more effectively during a cyber crisis, and strengthen their protection against cyber attacks. Through realistic cyber exercises and professional guidance, organizations learn to resolve potential cyber crises more efficiently.
A cyber incident is unpredictable, but with the CCRC Cybersecurity Crisis training, your organization will be prepared!
Practicing cyber resilience
across the entire supply chain!
Get to know cybersecurity crisis management:
Cybercrisis Awareness
Training
Managing a cyber crisis requires the involvement of the entire organization. Uncertainty and unfamiliarity among the crisis team and employees can contribute to an inefficient handling of the crisis. Efficiency can be improved when the organization is familiar with the aspects of a cyber crisis. These aspects are addressed in CCRC’s interactive crisis exercise, which better prepares the crisis team and employees for a real cyber crisis.
Train the incident response and cyber crisis team:
Cybercrisis Simulation
An experienced crisis organization that masters incident response processes can significantly reduce the impact of a cyber crisis. With CCRC’s tailored cyber crisis simulations, the incident response and crisis organization are trained to handle a cyber crisis as effectively as possible.
Play a hyper-realistic serious game:
Serious game Skywave
A digital crisis can unexpectedly arise from a seemingly small incident. With CCRC’s hyper-realistic serious game Skywave, your team experiences how collaboration, communication, and decision-making hold up under pressure during a cyberattack. In just 1.5 hours, participants are confronted with the dynamics of a cyber crisis in an interactive and immersive way, providing insight into the team’s strengths and areas for improvement.
Organizing cyber crisis training can be complex and costly. As a foundation, we aim to strengthen every organization in the Netherlands against cyber threats by allowing them to experience what a cyber crisis entails, potentially together with a supply chain partner, with training programs suitable for every budget. We assist from start to finish, keep costs low, and deploy specialists who develop and guide the exercises.
We also provide useful tools, instructions, and whitepapers that allow organizations to independently or with CCRC’s support work on enhancing the maturity of their cyber crisis organization.

Imagine: a seemingly innocent technical malfunction in a municipal system. Within a short time, signals pile up: residents are calling, the media jumps on it, and what started small turns out to be a cyber crisis with far-reaching consequences. How do you respond?
In this serious game, participants take on the role of a crisis team. Through realistic film scenes, interactive questions, and group discussions, you experience how complex decision-making can be under pressure. What information do you share with the media? When do you escalate to crisis level? And what do you do when hackers demand ransom for sensitive data?
The game is not intended to work out technical details to the last detail, but to provide insight into collaboration, communication, and decision-making during a crisis. By actively practicing, it becomes clear how today’s choices determine tomorrow’s outcome.
The serious game will be launched by Arda and CCRC on September 10 and 11 during Cybersec Netherlands.
Why practicing for a cyber crisis is so important:
- Preparation for a real cyber crisis;
- Testing the effectiveness of the response plans;
- Compliance with regulations (including NIS2);
- Identifying necessary improvements to security measures;
- Increasing trust with customers;
- Improving collaboration within the supply chain.
Unfortunately, a cyberattack cannot be 100% prevented.
Cyberattacks from the supply chain are becoming an increasing threat. A cyber crisis is not 100% preventable, sooner or later your organization will face a cyberattack. Directly, or through one of your suppliers.
With proper preparation, you can limit the impact of a cyber attack.
Is your organization ready for a cyber attack? Do employees know exactly what they should or should not do? And how do you actually inform your partners?
Making decisions effectively is crucial to minimize the impact of a cyber crisis. Just like with other emergencies, you can prepare an organization for a cyber crisis through training and exercises. The more you are trained, the less damage you will suffer as an organization.
You practice together. We are happy to help you!

"On Entrepreneur's Day, I had the opportunity to attend a very informative workshop on cybercrime, organized by the CCRC Foundation. The gentlemen from CCRC first provided a clear explanation of cybercrime and reviewed the terminology with us. Then, through a practical example, we experienced what a cyber attack feels like and how cybercriminals operate. We learned how to create an action plan, and even more interesting was discovering that there are ways to protect our online business."
"With the training of the CCRC, a lot has been learned about the digital chain approach and we are better able to consolidate our workflow. The serious gaming approach was also used to practice how to conduct the conversation with service providers in an appropriate way. After all, if cyber resilience is at stake, we are not only dependent on the online services, but also on the extent to which we invoke our rights while maintaining professional relationships."
