Tabletop exercise (TTX)
security incident response simulation
In today's dynamic business environment, the risk of serious security incidents, such as ransomware attacks, sensitive data leaks or compromised key systems, is an inherent part of doing business. The speed and effectiveness of the response to such events is crucial for maintaining operational continuity, protecting the company's reputation, and minimising financial and reputational damage.
The exercise takes the form of a workshop involving representatives from different departments within the organisation. Based on the provided scenario and the 'injects' (additional events introduced during the exercise), participants make decisions and discuss potential operational, technical, communication and legal actions together.
Purpose of the work:
Preparedness for an incident
Verifying how individual departments within the organisation respond to a significant security incident.
Procedure Verification
Verifying the possibility of escalating privileges.
Gaps Identification
Identifying organisational, process and communication gaps (e.g. lack of clear decision-making paths and unclear roles and responsibilities).
Internal Cooperation
Assessing cooperation readiness between departments (e.g. board/management, IT, HR, marketing/PR, legal departments).
Recommendations & Improvements
Identifying necessary improvements at both the procedural and practical team competency levels.
FAQ
Q;
Why is Tabletop Exercise important?
Tabletop Exercise allows organizations to simulate realistic cyber incident scenarios—such as a ransomware attack,so teams can test their incident response plans in a no-risk simulated situation. It helps identify gaps in communication, decision-making, and technical readiness before a real attack occurs, improving overall resilience, procedures and coordination.
Q;
How does a Tabletop Exercise help improve cybersecurity?
This exercise allows teams to practice realistic incident scenarios (e.g., ransomware attacks) in a safe, silumated exercise without real risk. It enables the detection of gaps in procedures, communication, and decision-making, and improves coordination between departments before a real threat occurs.
Q;
What is the cost of Tabletop Exercise?
The cost of TTX depends on the size and complexity of the organisation. Before presenting our proposal, we conduct a brief interview to gather the necessary information and define the number of departments involved and potential scenarios. Based on this information, we will be able to prepare a dedicated, personalised proposal. Please do not hesitate to contact us for a quotation.
Q;
What are the benefits of Tabletop Exercise?
Tabletop exercises improve cybersecurity readiness by enabling teams to practise responding to realistic incident scenarios in a safe, simulated, controlled scenario. Exercises help identify gaps in plans and incident response policies, strengthen cross-team communication and clarify roles and decision-making processes before a real crisis occurs.
