A group of cybersecurity experts and game designers created this game for the Ford Foundation in 2022. They designed the game as a follow up to the session on Incident Response Plans.
Through playing this game, players will be thrust into a fast-paced environment where they will collaborate within teams to hammer out a detailed incident response plan. The goal of the game is two-fold:
-
To familiarize players intimately with the six steps of an incident response plan.
-
To highlight that the more detailed and meticulous a plan is, the better it is. It is easier to have too many items (and skip some if the incident doesn't require them) rather than having to come up with new plans after an incident has occurred.
