This immersive experience is designed to educate, inform, and strengthen cyber awareness across the Hampton Roads community by demonstrating how a modern cyberattack unfolds—and how organizations can effectively respond.Unlike a traditional presentation, attendees will experience a realistic cyber incident in real time. The scenario will evolve through multiple stages, including phishing, third-party vendor compromise, malware detection, ransomware, data theft, impacts to physical security systems, public communications, and executive decision-making during a rapidly escalating crisis.As the incident unfolds, an expert panel will explain each phase in clear, practical terms, providing insights from government, critical infrastructure, artificial intelligence, and private industry. The discussion will focus not only on the technical aspects of the attack but also on the operational, leadership, and communication challenges organizations face during a cyber crisis.ModeratorJonny Garcia – SIMISExpert PanelRandy Plotkin – Port of VirginiaGenevieve Marquadt – CISAAndrew Stafford – AI CollectiveThroughout the exercise, attendees will gain practical insight into:Recognizing phishing and social engineering attacksThird-party and supply chain cybersecurity risksMalware and ransomware operationsData breaches involving sensitive informationCrisis communications and public information managementBusiness continuity and organizational resilienceExecutive decision-making under pressureThe importance of collaboration between government and private industryWhether you are a business leader, cybersecurity professional, public official, educator, student, or community member, this session offers a unique opportunity to see how today's cyber threats evolve and what it takes to prepare for, respond to, and recover from them.Special thanks to Claroty, KCG Engineering Group< Local Sphere, and SIMIS for their commitment to advancing cybersecurity awareness and supporting initiatives that help organizations and communities become more resilient in the face of emerging threats.Join us on Friday, August 7, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, and experience one of the Beach Tech Summit's most engaging and educational sessions as we explore the realities of today's cyber threat landscape—together.https://kcgengineering.com/https://claroty.com/Https://Simisinc.com/Beach Tech Summit VIP Experience (Aug 7–9, Virginia Beach):Rooftop Networking, Luau Access, Sunday Brunch & Early Entry Perks.Click link below for VIP access!https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beach-tech-summit-vip-tickets-1990581973267Beach Tech Summit Tickets (Aug 8–9, Virginia Beach):Experience the future at Beach Tech Summit with AI, gaming, robotics, innovation, networking, and tech exhibits.Click link below for tickets:https://www.eventbrite.com/e/beach-tech-summit-tickets-1992720240883?aff=erellivmlt https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/c6d81610-8da0-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w1200-h260-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/c6f2ca00-8da0-11f1-9760-d3acec93c3db-rimg-w1200-h407-dc486848-gmir.png https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/c700fad0-8da0-11f1-a33a-f7150662a5aa-rimg-w1200-h341-dcf8f8f8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/c7134a50-8da0-11f1-9760-d3acec93c3db-rimg-w1200-h195-dc486848-gmir.png - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/virginia-beach/beach-tech-summit-table-top-exercise/100001996264421623 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 10, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Virginia Beach - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Neptune SHIELD Tech Hub, 448 Viking Drive, Suite 300 Virginia Beach, VA 23452 - **lat**: 36.8267918 - **long**: -76.0728125 - **full address**: Neptune SHIELD Tech Hub, 448 Viking Drive, Suite 300 Virginia Beach, VA 23452, 448 Viking Drive, Virginia Beach, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Beach Tech Summit Table Top Exercise - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/f7d560f8386986a1e0ce2fbc0e9bbda9bd6e78ec2d9b6b1a81935204200975d5-rimg-w1200-h675-dc284858-gmir.jpg?v=1785585727 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Beach Tech Summit Table Top Exercise being held?
