A tabletop exercise is an immersive, discussion-based session designed to test and enhance an organisation's preparedness for cyber threats. It involves your key personnel from various departments coming together in a simulated environment to discuss potential emergency situations and their response strategies.
Our tabletop exercises are an integral part of our comprehensive Incident Response packages. It's a highly interactive, scenario-driven event that takes place over two days, where we simulate various cyber attack situations. This methodical approach allows your team to test their readiness and response strategies in a controlled environment.
Don't let a cyber incident impact your operations or catch you off guard. Whether you're in the midst of a cybersecurity event or see storm clouds gathering on the horizon, it's time to take control.
Contact our helpline, and one of our team can assist you with experienced advice and technical support.
Our experts guide you through specific scenarios, each one tailored to mimic real-life cyber threats. The objective? To put your incident response plan to the test, identify any gaps in your defences, and ensure your team knows exactly what to do when faced with a real cyber incident.
At Pentest People, we believe in proactive preparation. Our tabletop exercises are not just about understanding cyber threats; they're about empowering your team to respond effectively and efficiently, minimizing the impact on your operations and getting you back to business swiftly.
Tabletop Exercises are one of the most cost-effective ways to test your ability to respond to a cyber incident. They offer a range of benefits:
Establish how effective your current defence and response mechanisms are
Test your current existing policies and procedures
Help to improve your colleagues' internal relationships and skills, particularly their ability to deal with a live cyber attack
Identify any additional areas for further improvement
Real-Life Scenarios Built For Your Business
We simulate a real-world situation where your organisation's critical server falls victim to a sophisticated ransomware attack. This scenario will provide an immersive experience that will test your team's readiness and resilience under pressure.
The exercise begins with an unexpected system shutdown. Simultaneously, ransom demand messages start appearing on server screens. With the clock ticking, your team must quickly assess the situation, identify the affected systems, and formulate a strategic response.
In this scenario, your team will navigate through a simulated phishing attack that escalates into a ransomware situation. The aim is to boost your team's preparedness, enhance your defence systems, and ensure a secure business environment from one of the most common attack entry points.
This exercise is an informative, professional, and confident approach that prepares your team for potential cyber threats. It's straightforward, jargon-free, and focuses on the benefits of proactive cybersecurity.
This scenario immerses your team in a simulated ransomware attack initiated through a third-party vendor. The objective is not just to manage the crisis, but also to detect potential weak spots in your existing systems and processes.
By participating, your organisation will gain a clear understanding of its current cyber risk landscape, learn how to effectively respond to and recover from such an attack, and pinpoint areas for enhancement in vendor management and cybersecurity practices.
