Real-world defence at Onecom’s Cybersecurity Event
Swindon-based Onecom recently hosted an event with the South West Police Regional Cyber Crime Unit and Threatdown at the Steam Museum, Swindon.
Guests gained hands-on experience of cyber threats through live exercises, strategy sessions and expert insights, including a LEGO-based simulation of a cyber-attack.
Participants engaged in activities designed to enhance their understanding of current cyber threats and how to counteract them. Attendees had the opportunity to discuss real-world scenarios and best practices in cybersecurity with industry professionals. The live exercises allowed guests to experience firsthand the challenges of managing a cyber incident, while the strategy sessions provided a platform for developing effective response plans.
The LEGO-based simulation depicted a full-scale cyber-attack, enabling attendees to visualise and respond to the unfolding scenario in a controlled environment. This innovative approach not only made the learning process engaging but also reinforced key concepts in network security and threat management.
The event received praise for its interactive format and practical knowledge, successfully raising awareness about the importance of cybersecurity and equipping participants with the skills to protect their organisations from potential cyber threats.
