When is the best time to experience a Breach or IoC?

Never ,unless you'll be joining the InfraGard Boston Members Alliance (IBMA) for our Cyber Range event on Monday September 15th at 10AM.

Event Details: 

I’m excited to invite you to participate in an upcoming Cyber Range Experience — a hands-on, real-time simulation that places you inside the decision-making seat during a major cyber incident. This high-impact session will be facilitated by IBM X-Force Cyber Range in Cambridge, MA and designed to test not just technical response, but enterprise-wide coordination, governance, and communication under pressure.

The goal? To sharpen our ability to respond as a cohesive, informed, and resilient organization — no matter where we sit across the security ecosystem.

This experience is particularly relevant to those of us working in Cyber Governance, Third-Party Assurance, and Security Awareness, and will be significantly enriched by participation from our partners across Legal, Compliance, and Communications. Your insights and judgment are critical in shaping how we show up collectively when the stakes are highest.

Why You Should Join:

  • Simulate the Real Thing: Navigate an escalating cyber event from detection to resolution, complete with legal, regulatory, and reputational implications.
  • Break Silos: Collaborate cross-functionally in real time — strengthening the connective tissue between teams.
  • Demonstrate Leadership: This is a high-visibility opportunity to reinforce our program’s maturity, composure, and readiness — including to our CISO and executive leaders.
  • Walk Away with Insights: Attendees will leave with tangible recommendations to enhance incident playbooks, role clarity, and enterprise coordination.

Participation is limited and designed for those who want to stress-test their readiness in a collaborative and dynamic setting. If this sounds like the kind of experience that will stretch your thinking and sharpen your impact — We encourage you to register.
