The clock is ticking

Think quickly! In fast-paced simulations, red teams of hackers launch attacks aimed at disrupting a major retail grocery supply chain.

Digital battles can ravage the physical world. That’s why blue team defenders strategize how to stave off attacks. It’s why they collaborate to turn chaos into order.

    RETAIL SIMULATION
    Tuesday, August 4

    This ain’t your first rodeo, but even skilled cowboys exercise their strength and agility.

    Before you get too excited (or anxious), we should be clear: This is a simulation. Nobody is truly hacking anyone, anything, or any place.

    – Expose critical blind spots in identity, operations, and infrastructure

    – See how attackers creatively bypass traditional defenses

    – Learn how defenders detect, contain, and recover under pressure

    – Join a room of public and private sector cyber leaders, including IT pros from government, law enforcement, and critical infrastructure

    Will we see you at Black Hat USA this August?

    All simulations will take place in the Briefing Hall at The Interface.


    Not ready to take the plunge, you can still watch the simulation as an observer, stop by The Interface to view the daily crisis simulation.
