Airport Cyber Resilience Simulator

The Airport Cyber Resilience Simulator is a kiosk-style, server-authoritative training simulation that puts a live per-second financial-loss engine behind a real UK airport's economic profile, streamed to an immersive command-centre display so a room can watch, in real time, exactly what a cyber incident costs.

• 29 real UK passenger airports, each with its own revenue-per-second and regulatory-fine profile
• 26 airport infrastructure nodes across baggage handling, check-in, ATC tower, HVAC, retail POS and more
• 9 distinct attack playbooks — ransomware, IoT botnet, API breach, credential theft, signal spoofing, FIDS defacement, access control, PII breach, EV grid overload
• Live financial engine: operational cost + regulatory fines + mitigation costs, recalculated every second
• Three mitigation trade-offs per incident — isolate, throttle, or pay to patch against a race-to-patch clock
• Crisis Communications state machine with a reputational-loss multiplier and statutory-notification penalties

• Immersive 1920×1080 kiosk display with a 90-second idle attract loop
• Synthesised Web Audio soundscape and a dynamic runway-lighting strip
• WebSocket-driven, server-authoritative simulation state
• Aligned to NCSC CAF, the UK Cyber Security and Resilience Bill, and CAA/DfT notification requirements
• Fully self-contained — vendored frontend libraries, no runtime internet dependency

• Turns an abstract cyber-risk conversation into a live number the whole room can watch climb
• Gives airport ops and security stakeholders a shared, visceral sense of incident cost and tempo
• Runs standalone at events, briefings or tabletop exercises with zero internet dependency

The Airport Cyber Resilience Simulator runs standalone as a training and awareness tool — it doesn't exchange data with the other Synapse applications today.
