According to the Cyber Security Breaches Survey 2025, published by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, 43% of businesses experienced a cyber breach or attack within a twelve‑month period.
Join other Lancashire businesses for a free Cyber Attack Hydra Simulation at the University of Lancashire. This immersive, scenario‑based exercise places you at the centre of a realistic cyber incident, helping you practise critical decision‑making under pressure - including leadership, communication, risk management and business continuity. No technical or IT background is required.
These sessions are delivered by the University of Lancashire and fully funded by Lancashire’s Police and Crime Commissioner using proceeds of crime, supporting stronger cyber resilience across Lancashire’s business community.
Following the simulation, aftercare support will be available from the North West Cyber Resilience Centre and the University, helping you understand and address any risks or gaps identified during the exercise.
Each session will last up to 4 hours and can accommodate 20 participants and includes complimentary refreshments.
Initial dates are now available, with more to be added throughout the year. You can register directly through this booking page.
