Business Leaders Step Inside the Mind of a Hacker at Manchester’s Crystal Maze

A one-of-a-kind event blending real-world cyber breach insights with the iconic Crystal Maze challenge, a day of actionable learning, interactive teamwork, and immersive fun.

Dive into the thrilling crossover of cybersecurity insights and real-world problem-solving at Syscomm’s “Inside the Breach” event, hosted at the legendary Crystal Maze in Manchester. This unique experience brought together business leaders, IT professionals, and security champions for a day of actionable learning, interactive teamwork, and immersive fun.

The day kicked off with a warm welcome and networking over breakfast, followed by expert presentations that unpacked lessons from over 200 real ransomware incident responses: where breaches started, what organisations missed, and how effective recovery really works.

“I’ve attended many events like this and they typically entertain you before trying to sell you something, but not this time — genuinely informative and valuable content I could take away and use, networking, fun activity and the start of a great relationship..”

Stuart - Access Creative College

Participants didn’t just listen, they stepped into the mindset of defenders and attackers alike, gaining valuable strategies they can apply back at work. The presentations covered how attacks unfold in real time, the common gaps that leave organisations exposed, and the practical decisions that separate a contained incident from an extended crisis.

Then came the twist. Learning moved off the screen and into action with a hands-on challenge inside the iconic Crystal Maze itself. Teams raced through themed zones, solved puzzles under time pressure, and put their problem-solving and leadership skills to the test — all while forming stronger connections with their peers.

The blend of serious insight and light-hearted competition made this event both engaging and memorable, with laughter and collaboration at every turn. Discussions continued over lunch this time with fresh perspectives and plenty of shared “aha” moments.

A cyber Security event... with a twist

Inside the Breach isn’t a typical cyber event. Learn how breaches happen, see what attackers really do, and discover how organisations respond, all while networking with peers in a relaxed, interactive setting.

You also have to step into the Crystal Maze. Navigate its iconic challenges, race against the clock, and tackle mind-bending puzzles with a team. Fast-paced, exhilarating, and a whole lot of fun, the perfect way to blend learning, teamwork, and excitement.

“The event at Crystal Maze hosted by Syscomm was really engaging and informative. The session in the Maze before the conference helped break down barriers and got attendees speaking and familiar beforehand which led to a more relaxed informal session discussing the do’s and don’ts from a Cyber Security perspective. We really enjoyed the day and gave many insights and food for thought to take away with us.”
