Background

AFRALTI is a renowned ICT capacity development institute with extensive experience across Africa. CTFROOM is a cyber range and cyber drill firm focused on strengthening practical cyber resilience through immersive, hands-on exercises.

CTFROOM’s will be providing a dedicated cyber range platform designed for guided cyber exercises, operational rehearsals, and realistic cyber drill delivery. Unlike traditional capture-the-flag platforms, the platform supports structured exercises that simulate real-world operational conditions, promote coordinated team participation, and assess incident response readiness.

AFRALTI and CTFROOM are collaborating to deliver a Virtual Cyber Drill on Supply Chain Attack Response, testing the resilience, coordination, and decision-making capabilities of national incident response teams against a scenario leveraging CVE-2025-15556.

 

Purpose of the Exercise

The cyber drill aims to:

  • Provide national incident response teams with an opportunity to rehearse a realistic, high-impact supply chain compromise scenario.
  • Assess operational preparedness in detection, analysis, coordination, containment, communication, and recovery.
  • Deliver structured feedback through the Cyber Resilience Score Card, enabling teams to convert performance insights into practical resilience improvements.

Training Objectives

Scope and Focus

The drill will simulate a supply chain attack affecting trusted software or service delivery channels. Participants will be evaluated across key response functions, including:

  • Incident detection and triage
  • Technical analysis and validation of compromise
  • Coordination within and across national incident response functions
  • Containment and eradication decision-making
  • Stakeholder communication and reporting
  • Recovery planning and post-incident reflection
