Ctrl+Z: What Happens When Cyber Goes Wrong

Everyone talks about cyber prevention, but this session is about what happens AFTER something goes wrong, told as a real-time story. We walk through a fictional but painfully realistic cyber incident hitting a Gloucestershire tech company, and at each stage ask: what would you do next? At each decision point the audience votes, and we reveal the legal and commercial consequences. Interactive, slightly nerve-wracking, and the whole point is that cyber resilience isn't just a technical issue, it's a legal, commercial and reputational one.
