National Cyber Wargaming: A Flagship Cybersecurity Simulation
The National Cyber Wargaming is a high-profile cybersecurity event led by the UAE Bank Federation, bringing together experts and professionals to engage in simulated real-world cyber threat scenarios. Hosted at the Ritz Carlton, the event required a mission-critical network environment capable of supporting over 250 participants without fail. The setup had to meet enterprise-grade standards while being delivered under intense time constraints.
Meeting Event Demands with Zero Downtime
Despite having just two weeks to plan and only a single day to set up, the network team was tasked with delivering flawless connectivity for a high-stakes cybersecurity event—where every second of uptime counted.
Tight Setup Timeline
With the event venue available for just one day before kickoff, the team had to complete the entire network installation and run comprehensive testing within a few short hours. Any delay would impact schedules and increase operational costs.
High-Density User Load
More than 250 cybersecurity professionals and participants required seamless, high-speed internet access at the same time. The network needed to handle intense data traffic with intelligent load balancing to ensure a lag-free experience for all.
Security Requirements
Given the sensitive nature of the event, strict security protocols were a must. The team implemented VLAN-based segmentation and advanced access control to prevent unauthorized connections and protect critical systems from internal or external threats.
Seamless Event Connectivity Solutions
Knowing the event's critical nature and tight schedule, the team engineered a customized solution designed to deliver maximum performance, rock-solid stability, and effortless control—all within a single day of deployment.
Seamless Connectivity for All Participants
High-density Wi-Fi access points and multi-gigabit switches were strategically deployed to provide fast, reliable wireless coverage. Even during peak usage, participants experienced low-latency, uninterrupted connections essential for simulations, presentations, and real-time collaboration.
Cloud-Based Centralized Management
A cloud management platform offered full visibility and control over the entire network. Real-time analytics, traffic shaping, and remote configuration allowed the team to instantly detect issues, optimize performance, and balance loads without ever needing to be physically present.
Redundancy and On-Site Support
Two dedicated 1Gbps internet lines with auto-failover ensured uninterrupted connectivity. A standby technical team was also on-site throughout the event, providing proactive support and immediate resolution for any unforeseen issues, giving organizers complete peace of mind.
Rapid, Reliable, and Advanced Networking Solutions for Event Success
What started as a high-pressure, time-sensitive challenge turned into a showcase of what modern networking can achieve. The team not only delivered on expectations—they set a new bar for event connectivity in the region.
One-Day Deployment Efficiency
While most providers would require weeks of planning and installation, the team achieved full deployment and testing within just one day. This rapid setup minimized venue costs and gave organizers more time to focus on core event execution.
Reliable Performance with SLA Assurance
With guaranteed service-level agreements, the network maintained consistent performance throughout the event. All critical applications—from simulations to communications—ran without interruption, allowing participants to stay fully engaged and productive.
Advanced Tech for Fair Competition
High-density, multi-radio access points ensured uniform internet speeds across the venue. This provided every participant with a fair and equal digital playing field—crucial for the integrity of a competitive cybersecurity simulation.
Your professionalism and confidence were reassuring, and your efforts in setting up the fiber cable and network made our event a great success.”
