Overview

Who should lead when a cyber incident crosses into the physical world?

In Episode 7, Olivier Caleff faces a series of decisions that test the limits of authority during a crisis. Technical responders want to contain the threat, maritime operators prioritize safety, and executives push to restore operations. Each choice brings consequences for the workforce, the port, and the wider supply chain.

The episode explores why effective crisis leadership depends on clearly defined mandates, domain expertise, escalation paths, and teams that can keep functioning under prolonged pressure.
