Day 3 - 16 March
Session:
Management & Operations: Crisis & Disaster


11:55 - 12:25 - Being prepared – introducing computerised war-gaming to mitigate cyber risks
Synopsis: Low-frequency and high-impact events are often hard to predict and can result in truly catastrophic outcomes. These events may materialise in the form of a terrorist attack, a natural or man-made disaster or a cyberattack. The objective of this joint IATA-BeST presentation is to introduce a case study in which, through using a computerised war-gaming platform, IATA was able to analyse its crisis management processes. The case study will introduce how use of cutting-edge platforms enables an effective and efficient process while maximising results, enabling the organisation to quickly achieve its learning objectives.
