Inside the Wargame 2026 simulation
A live blue-team / red-team exercise that puts incident response to the test in front of a live audience.
SMI-CYBIA Team
The Wargame is one of SMI-CYBIA's signature moments: a live simulation pitting defenders against attackers in a controlled, realistic environment.
Participants experience the pressure of a real incident — triage, containment, communication and recovery — guided by experienced advisors.
It's equal parts learning and spectacle, and a favourite with both newcomers and seasoned professionals.
Wargame access is included with VIP passes. Reserve yours before they sell out.
