Notion Digital Forensics Launches Executive Cyber Resilience Workshop
11 Jul 2025
Overview
Notion Digital Forensics has unveiled what it describes as “Australia’s most comprehensive cybersecurity training program designed specifically for senior leadership teams.” The initiative addresses a significant gap in executive preparedness for cyber incidents.
The Workshop Program
The “Diary of an Incident Responder” workshop is structured as an intensive three-hour program aimed at transforming how C-suite executives approach cybersecurity decision-making through immersive, scenario-based learning.
Key Statistics Presented
The program highlights three critical industry metrics:
- Executive cyber incidents average $8.2 million in costs
- Human error at leadership levels accounts for 40% of breaches
- Ransom demands now typically reach $5 million per incident
Core Simulation Component
The workshop’s centerpiece is the “Ransomware at the Boardroom Door” simulation, which places participants in high-pressure incident response situations requiring real-time decision-making.
Matt O’Kane, the company’s founder, noted that many organizations struggle when leadership teams lack crisis preparedness: “We’ve seen too many organisations struggle because their leadership teams weren’t prepared for cyber crisis decisions.”
Australian Regulatory Context
The program covers Australia-specific regulations including CPS 234, SOCI Act, and the Cyber Security Act 2024. Topics include zero trust architecture and secure AI implementation strategies.
Program Structure
The workshop employs a four-phase methodology:
- Live simulation assessing current capabilities
- Expert-led case study reviews of Australian incidents
- Realistic crisis scenarios testing decision-making
- Networking establishing peer advisory relationships
Logistics
Each session accommodates up to 40 senior executives. The program can be delivered as a standalone offering or integrated into broader organizational cybersecurity initiatives.
