"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Cyber Storm exercise series is part of the Department's ongoing efforts to assess and strengthen cyber preparedness; examine incident response processes in response to ever-evolving threats, and enhance information sharing among federal, state, international and private sector partners. The Cyber Storm series simulates large-scale cyber events and attacks on the government and the nation's critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR)-so that collective cyber preparedness and response capabilities can be measured against realistic and credible national-level events."
