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 pasteuriser setpoint changes and nobody on shift did it

At 02:15 the HMI at a regional dairy shows the pasteuriser hold-tube temperature setpoint has moved from 72.5°C to 68.0°C. Nobody on the night shift admits to changing it. The change log names the engineering workstation's shared login, and that workstation sits in a locked, empty office. The flow-diversion valve worked and no under-temperature milk left the line, but 9,000 litres are now held in a silo pending a decision. The morning tanker leaves at 06:00. Was this an attacker, a scheduled job or a mistake, and how do you find out without destroying the evidence?

The insurer says the claim may not be covered

Three weeks after a ransomware attack, your company has spent 1.8 million on forensics, overtime and lost revenue. The insurer's coverage letter arrives. It reserves its rights and cites two problems. The application you signed last year stated that multi-factor authentication was enforced for all remote access, but the attacker came in through a legacy VPN account without it. And a war and state-actor exclusion may apply, because a government advisory linked the ransomware group to a hostile state. Finance needs to know what to book this quarter.
