- CYBERSECURITY INITIATIVE IN PROGRESS-

Time to take stock of your team’s performance in the last round. Are Avisitel’s cyber defenses

secure? Is the Avisitel telecommunications network staying up? Think you could have done

better last round? Revisit your strategies, if required.

Stay focused; it’s easy to become complacent and get your valuable computer and data assets

exposed; with the matrix of cybersecurity threats constantly shifting, you need to stay alert to

changes.

Reviewing your performance at each stage is crucial. Look up the outcomes and the reports in

your dashboard screen, to see the changes in the indices. Observe how your decisions and

events have influenced the outcomes. Consider feedback provided by the instructor in your

performance review. Collaborate with your team to look at ways to improve your performance.

Look out for any new cybersecurity threats in this round, taking into account any weaknesses in

your systems in terms of lowered security, downtime, or profitability.

Ease off on the spending if you’re highly constrained on budget, but do it smartly to avoid

exposing your systems to the new threats.

And because it can’t be emphasized enough: this mission requires a team effort.
