On July 10, 2025, NFIR, Arda, and CCRC are organizing a realistic cyber crisis training specifically for municipalities and other government organizations. During this interactive afternoon in Rijswijk, you will experience how your team responds under digital pressure and gain practical insights that you can immediately apply in your own organization.
Realistic simulation of a cyber crisis
Cyber threats are a daily occurrence, and companies in the technological industry are an attractive target for cybercriminals. Hackers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods and can cause significant damage to organizations. In addition to implementing the right technical and organizational measures, it is equally important to be prepared for a potential crisis. During this cyber exercise, participants are immersed in a realistic scenario where they must manage a cyber crisis in teams and under time pressure. This takes place under the guidance of experienced cyber experts, allowing participants to not only gain theoretical knowledge but also apply it directly in practice.
What can you expect?
- A realistic and current crisis scenario, focused on municipalities;
- Collaboration with colleagues from different disciplines;
- Reflection, knowledge sharing, and concrete tools for your practice;
- After completion, you will receive a personal participation certificate that demonstrably contributes to your NIS2 obligations.
You will also hear first-hand what it’s like to experience a real attack, with lessons from the inside.
NIS2 Certificate
The cyber crisis training optimally prepares you for dealing with a cyber crisis and helps your organization comply with the NIS2 directive. During the training, you gain valuable experience in managing a cyber crisis, gain insight into the different roles, responsibilities, and vulnerabilities within an organization, and learn practical lessons that are directly applicable in your own work environment.
Upon completion, you will receive an official participation certificate. This certificate demonstrably supports your organization in meeting the requirements of the NIS2 obligations, such as the obligation to take appropriate measures for cyber resilience and incident response.
