Case Study: NEX Group strengthens cyber-attack resilience with PA Consulting

Putting business continuity plans to the test across three continents

NEX Group, a financial services organisation running electronic trading platforms worldwide, wanted to test whether its sophisticated business continuity plans could withstand a cyber-attack. PA Consulting worked with the company to assess how resilient its operations would be under a realistic crisis scenario across its complex global structure.

PA Consulting designed and facilitated a life-like simulated cyber-attack exercise across three continents, involving executive directors and country and business heads, to observe decision-making under pressure and test policies and protocols. The engagement delivered policy improvement recommendations, sharpened internal communications and social media use, and increased NEX Group’s confidence that its continuity planning can keep services running during a cyber incident.
