“Cyber ShockWave…featured a number of former US government officials who played the part of senior members of the NSC. The exercise sought to examine how the NSC would react to a major cyber attack in real time…the source of the attack remained unclear during the event…The mock NSC even discussed potentially nationalizing power companies and service providers if they failed to act in the national interest.
