Tabletop exercise library

100 ready-to-run cyber tabletop exercises across 15 incident domains. Search them, pick one at random, or tell us who will be in the room and we'll rank the scenarios that fit those people best. Every exercise shows who to involve, how long it runs and an outline — and the scenario prompt is free to copy and read out.

Running one for real? Pro adds the facilitator's run sheet for each exercise: a minute-by-minute timeline, timed injects, step-by-step facilitation guide and the questions to put to each person. Or build your own with the Tabletop Runbook Generator.

Who's in the room?

Pick the people you have — we'll suggest exercises that fit them.

A law firm announces it is 'investigating' your breach

Four days after you notified 210,000 customers that their names, addresses and loyalty account details were exposed, a plaintiffs' law firm publishes a press release saying it is investigating claims against your retail chain and inviting affected customers to get in touch. A demand letter citing a state privacy statute arrives the next day. Customer support is fielding calls asking whether people should join. Your forensic firm is still finishing its report. What gets written down now may be read in court later.

The attacker emails your customers directly

Your accounting software company refused a ransom demand last week after a data theft. This morning hundreds of your small-business customers received an email from the attacker. It quotes each customer's own invoice data as proof, says you 'chose not to protect them', and invites them to pay 500 dollars each to have their records deleted. Support has 900 tickets in the queue. Two customers have posted the email on social media, and one says they have already paid.
