NUARI Cyber Training Exercise (October 28th, 2021)

Overview

NUARI DECIDE® exercises simulate cyber-attacks for organizations and their partners to stress and test incident response plans, resulting in after action reports to improve strategic communication, compliance, risk, and overall resilience. Initially conceived and started independently by NUARI, and developed with funding from the Department of Homeland Security, the DECIDE platform has been a trusted cybersecurity live exercise solution for more than ten years. DECIDE equips organizations, critical infrastructure sectors, the military, and the government with the situational awareness, strategic communications capabilities, and digital response playbooks needed to prevail against serious cyber threats. DECIDE brings actors from across sectors, geographies, and roles together into a distributed environment to participate in critical infrastructure exercises.
