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.

An attacker holds Global Admin in your identity provider

At 14:10 your SOC sees a new federated domain added to your cloud identity tenant, then a conditional access policy disabled. Both changes came from a Global Admin account belonging to a cloud engineer who is on holiday. Within twenty minutes, two new app registrations with mail-read permissions appear and three other admins report their MFA methods were changed. The attacker can now create users, issue tokens and read any mailbox. You are not sure which admin accounts are still yours. How do you take the tenant back without locking yourselves out?

Espionage discovered eight months after it began

A government agency privately tells your aerospace components firm that an intruder linked to a foreign intelligence service has been in your engineering network for about eight months. They share three indicators and ask you not to tip off the attacker. Your logs go back 90 days. The intruder appears to use legitimate admin tools rather than malware. Your largest customer is a defence prime with contractual reporting duties. Do you watch, or evict? And what do you tell anyone?
