DATA CENTRE LIVE DEMONSTRATOR

The 2026 Live Demonstrator, in partnership with CrisisCast, will see groups of visitors taken through an immersive, narrated incident experience, set inside a data centre under attack.

Located on the exhibition floor, visitors will be guided on a walk-through of the Demonstrator, running 2-3 times an hour on both days of the event. Each wall inside will represent a live node in the unfolding incident – a coordinated perimeter breach combined with a sophisticated cyber intrusion targeting critical infrastructure. Exhibitor products and solutions will be deployed to showcase how they can be implemented to detect, contain and recover.

2025 SCENARIOS

Visitors stepped into the heart of a gripping security breach as anti-oil protestors storm an airfield following a coordinated cyberattack that disables operational technology and perimeter systems.

The situation escalated with stunts, protest theatre, and a rapid emergency services response, unfolding live before your eyes. Each 10-minute act delivered a self-contained story.

CrisisCast’s reputation for world-class realism and narrative excellence has made this showcase a cornerstone of ISE. Our live simulations have previously earned praise from Met Police, NHS, and international blue-light services, with testimonials citing their "unparalleled authenticity" and "game-changing impact on stakeholder engagement." This is more than a stage - it’s a platform to witness leadership in resilience, innovation, and tactical response. Don’t just walk the floor — experience the future of security, live.
