SimSpace, a global leader in high-fidelity cyber range solutions, recently partnered with EY and Cybersecurity Foundation (Warsaw, Poland) to provide the underlying architecture for the Cyber-EXE Poland event, a cybersecurity exercise for the financial services sector. This event, driven by new DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act) regulations, brought together eight major financial institutions and four national level CSIRTs teams to test and strengthen their incident detection and reporting capabilities.

SimSpace provided the comprehensive cyber range platform that powered the exercise, offering real-world threat scenarios designed specifically to test DORA’s stringent requirements.
Scenarios Tailored for DORA Compliance
Throughout the exercise, SimSpace’s advanced cyber range simulated a variety of complex, high-fidelity scenarios, including data exfiltration attacks that required immediate incident reporting as part of DORA’s incident response guidelines. These simulations enabled participants to assess how their internal detection processes aligned with the new DORA regulations.
“We are proud to have supported the Cyber-EXE Poland event alongside EY and Cybersecurity Foundation, helping financial institutions navigate the complex requirements under DORA,” said Lee Rossey, Co-Founder and CTO of SimSpace. “Our cyber range provided an unparalleled opportunity for these organizations to test, train, and improve their incident detection and reporting processes, ensuring compliance and strengthening their overall resilience.”
