KC7 Cyber Detective Game with Microsoft – a realistic security exercise for everyone

πŸ“… 26.08.2025 at 16:30-18:00

πŸ“ The Vault (Gold Hall), Stortorget 1, 2609 Lillehammer

Join the KC7 hackathon – an engaging and realistic crisis simulation where you strengthen your preparedness and learn through practice – regardless of role or experience. The exercise is designed to train participants in handling cyber attacks through interdisciplinary collaboration, quick decisions and effective communication. KC7 requires no technical background, and is equally suitable for security managers, managers and communications professionals as for IT personnel. You get to experience how a crisis develops in real time, and how your choices affect both operations, reputation and the organization's ability to respond. It's about teamwork , situational awareness and preparedness – not about being able to code. We run the exercise as a competition, and select some winners.
You can use KC7 as internal security training after this exercise, as it is free and available to everyone. Registration is via this link (Microsoft office forms).

Would you also like to have a side event?

Would you like to create a festival feel by organizing a side event? We understand that many people would like to contribute by doing something extra for the participants, and we appreciate this. Usually, this is reserved for our partners and paying sponsors/exhibitors, but if you would like to contribute, there are a few things we ask you to take into account to ensure a good experience for everyone:

Respect for the Program and Sponsors/Exhibitors

Side events should be held outside the regular program, out of respect for the organizer and paying sponsors and exhibitors. It is important that side events take place in β€œfree time” and do not clash with the official activities.

Timings for Side events

Side events can take place at the following times:

  • Monday 25/8: Between 16:00 and 19:00, and after 21:00

  • Tuesday 26/8: Between 16:15 and 19:00

There is also the possibility of arranging side events on the morning before the academic program, until 9 a.m. every day. See here for the full festival program.

Information, communication and social media

We want to be informed about side events before they are published on social media. This helps us coordinate and ensure that everything runs smoothly for all parties. For questions, please contact us: sikkerhetfestivalen@macsimum.no

We greatly appreciate your understanding and cooperation, in this way we create an unforgettable festival experience for everyone!
