For the 2017 Spring Quarterly Meeting, the Chicago Electronic Crimes Task Force will be hosting a cyber tabletop exercise (TTX) that will test and socialize processes for responding to a significant cyber incident impacting your firm. Geared towards the executive and/or information technology decision maker, the exercise will cover all phases of the lifecycle from business as usual through crisis incident response. Discussions will occur over a series of modules in order to focus the conversation on specific issues, such as intelligence and information sharing, initial response coordination, and resource coordination. The exercise will conclude with a hot wash to discuss lessons learned.
The TTX will take place on Wednesday, May 3, 2017 between 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, 300 E. Randolph Street, Chicago, IL 60601.
Availability is limited to 150 attendees. Please RSVP to Chicago-ECTF@usss.dhs.gov, by close of business on Friday, April 21, 2017.
Additional information concerning the TTX can be obtained via the attached invitation or by contacting Assistant to the Special Agent in Charge, Patrick Hogan (Chicago Field Office, U.S. Secret Service), at
The Chicago Electronic Crimes Task Force combines resources of academia, the private sector and local, state and federal law enforcement to prevent, detect and investigate electronic and cyber based crimes, including potential terrorist attacks against critical infrastructure and financial payment systems. With this task force approach, the Secret Service and its law enforcement partners work closely with members of the private sector and academic community to share information and identify weaknesses in a trustworthy environment. The resources and skills offered by each member maximize the group’s ability to combat cybercrime activity while concurrently offering a wealth of information and communication channels with unlimited potential.
