TableTop simulation exercises

The concept of simulation testing, such as TableTop exercises, has its roots in risk management strategies and contingency planning. They were initially used in sectors such as defense, emergency management and public safety to prepare personnel for a variety of contingencies, such as natural disasters, terrorist attacks or war.
In the context of cyber security, the concept has been adapted as a way to prepare organizations for potential cyber threats. As technology became more integrated into the day-to-day operations of organizations, and cybercrime became more advanced and widespread, it became clear that traditional risk management methods were not sufficient.
TableTop exercises in the context of cyber security began to gain popularity in the early 2000s. They are often used as part of a broader cybersecurity risk management program, which may also include risk assessments, security audits, security training and other initiatives.
The main goal of these exercises is to understand how an organization will respond to a cyber security incident, identify weaknesses in incident response procedures and improve those procedures. As a result, organizations are better prepared for actual incidents and can manage cyber security risks more effectively.

Features and Specifications:

Exercises are conducted remotely for up to 20 participants and 2 observers, involving business and IT departments simultaneously. They are tailored to the specifics and needs of the client, with the possibility of including different threat scenarios.
