RESILIENCE UNDER STRESS- DESIGNING SEVERE-BUT-PLAUSIBLE THIRD-PARTY FAILURE SCENARIOS – SIMULATION LAB
A practitioner-led, closed-door simulation focused on how firms design and test severe-but-plausible third-party failure scenarios — not just document them. Expect open, peer-to-peer exchange on:
- Designing joint testing exercises with critical vendors and key service providers
