Dead in the Water: Destructive Malware at a Global Container Carrier
Ransomware locks your files. This is worse: malware built to destroy, detonating across every office on three continents in under an hour. Booking, terminals, EDI, email — gone. And the ships, unaffected and indifferent, keep sailing toward ports that can no longer receive them.
Modeled on the most consequential destructive cyberattack in shipping history, this advanced exercise asks your team to run a global logistics network on paper, phones, and improvisation — while simultaneously rebuilding core IT from almost nothing and holding customers whose supply chains can't wait for you.
It's the definitive exercise in operating through total systems loss: the scenario that reveals whether your continuity plans describe your company or just decorate it.
