When Zero Hour Arrives… Will You Be Ready?
Join the Arizona HIMSS Chapter and Rubrik for an immersive, executive-level ransomware simulation designed to test how your organization responds when the cloud fails.
Event Details:
May 6, 2026
The Phoenician
Scottsdale, AZ
This is not a presentation.
This is not a panel.
This is an interactive, real-world simulation of a cloud ransomware attack—where you step into the role of decision-maker.
Built around a live scenario, participants will navigate a rapidly escalating cyber crisis, making decisions across IT, security, legal, finance, and operations.
As highlighted in the program materials, this experience simulates “a ransomware attack and the events that follow as a fictional organization tries to recover,” exposing technical gaps, operational challenges, and strategic blind spots.
The Experience
Zero Hour: When the Cloud Falls
You’ll be immersed in a high-stakes scenario where:
A breach begins with a simple social engineering attack
Identity systems are compromised
Cloud environments are taken over
Backups fail under real-world conditions
Legal, financial, and reputational risks escalate rapidly
Participants experience the tension of real decisions...like whether to pay a ransom, how to communicate with leadership, and how to respond when recovery efforts fail.
The scenario demonstrates how quickly a crisis unfolds - from initial compromise to operational shutdown and data breach exposure.
Why It Matters
Why It Matters
The shift to cloud has changed the risk landscape.
Attacks are more sophisticated
Recovery is more complex
Business impact is immediate
This experience is designed to answer one question:
Are you actually prepared—or just assuming you are?
You will walk away with:
A clearer understanding of real-world attack paths
Insight into gaps across people, process, and technology
Practical strategies to strengthen resilience
A shared framework for executive-level response
