"Northwave really showed proactiveness and listened to our specific needs.
The simulation was organised down to the last detail by Northwave. The focus was on getting as close to a real cyberattack as possible by involving the people and stakeholders that would be involved in a real crisis. Northwave demonstrated an impressive understanding of the field of cyber security. We received great input from our simulation, with tangible results, and it created meaningful awareness throughout the whole organization."
