The exhibition floor was packed with interactive workshops including key partners CREST offering workshops on cones of plausibility and simulation activities on how to perform security incident response. As well as the Immersive Cyber Demonstrator in partnership with CrisisCast which took visitors behind the scenes of the real-life workings of a cyber attack.
