OWASP AppSec Crisis Simulation: Executive Tabletop Exercise for Security Leaders

The OWASP Cairo Chapter, in collaboration with Caisec Event, is hosting this session free of charge in a dedicated room, with no general admission ticket required. This interactive tabletop simulation puts you in the hot seat during real-world AppSec crises. Instead of a technical drill, you’ll face a strategic, cross-functional challenge that sharpens your decision-making under pressure.

📍 Location: Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski
🎯 Audience: CISOs, Security Managers, Incident Response Leads, Senior IT Risk Professionals
⚙️ Level: Advanced (prior incident-response experience recommended)

### What You’ll Experience

• ✅ Realistic Scenarios
