100s of businesses continue to improve their cybersecurity with CloudGuard

(logos)

Hands-on preparation. Real-world impact. Built for resilience.

Cyber threats move fast. Your responses should too. CloudGuard’s incident response workshops help you build, test and strengthen your plan with expert-led in-person sessions.

Work one-on-one with our cybersecurity experts to create or improve your IR plan and run live simulations that expose the gaps before attackers do. Give your team the clarity and confidence to act fast, minimise damage and bounce back stronger. No guesswork, no jargon, just real results.

What businesses tell us again and again

“We don’t have a clear plan”

If something went wrong, we’re not sure what we’d do or who’s responsible. It would likely be chaotic.

“We’re not security experts”

Security isn’t our focus, so it’s hard to know what good looks like or where we’re vulnerable.

“We wouldn’t be ready”

No one’s tested the plan or practiced a real response. We’d be figuring it out under pressure, which feels risky.

That’s where our incident response workshops come in

We’ve designed three hands-on workshops to meet teams exactly where they are. Whether you’re starting from scratch, refining an existing plan or pressure-testing under real conditions, our IR experts help make sure you’re ready for whatever comes your way.

    Frequently asked questions
    about incident response workshops

    Yes. Many organisations have a plan on paper that’s either outdated or untested. Our incident response workshops are designed to review and strengthen what you already have. We will help your business in identifying blind spots, aligning responsibilities and ensuring your team knows exactly how to act when it counts.

    Templates are a starting point, not a solution. Our incident response workshops are tailored to your systems, risks and team. This is not a one-size-fits-all checklist. We help you turn generic documents into a plan that actually works for your business

    That’s exactly who our incident response workshops are built for. You don’t need to be a security expert. Our team brings the experience and guides you through every step in plain English, helping you make confident, informed decisions.

    Absolutely. SMEs are often the most vulnerable to cyber threats and the least resourced to recover. These incident response workshops are designed to be focused, practical and high-impact. Their core objective is to give you a solid plan and peace of mind in just one day.

    We offer three options depending on your needs:

    • Build — create a plan from scratch
    • Review — assess and improve what you already have
    • Test — run a live tabletop exercise with your team

    You can book them individually or combine sessions for a more complete approach.

    Yes. Our incident response workshops are delivered one-on-one with your business, but there’s no limit on how many internal stakeholders can join. We encourage cross-team involvement so everyone knows their role when it matters.

    Our incident response workshops are delivered in person at your office or a location that works best for you. This makes it easier to focus, collaborate and simulate realistic scenarios in your own environment.
