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.

Pick the people you have — we'll suggest exercises that fit them.
A finance manager at a 600-person logistics company reports on Monday morning that her bag, with her access badge inside, was stolen from her car on Saturday night. She did not report it over the weekend. The access-control log shows her badge opened the side entrance at 03:12 on Sunday and the server room door at 03:16, a room she has never had reason to enter and should not have been able to open. The camera covering that corridor has pointed at the ceiling since a refit two months ago. What do you do in the next hour?
At 21:30 on a Sunday, armed police surround your CEO’s house after a hoax call reporting a hostage situation. Nobody is hurt, but her teenage son was handcuffed on the lawn. Within the hour, an anonymous social media account posts your CFO’s home address and writes ‘he’s next’ in a thread about recent layoffs at your 3,000-person logistics business. Some of the executives’ personal details appear to come from a data broker. Monday’s all-staff meeting at headquarters is in twelve hours. How do you protect people tonight, and what changes tomorrow?
At 05:00 on a Wednesday, your logistics company's warehouse management and transport management systems go dark across six distribution centres. Ransom notes are on the servers. Forty trucks are queued at the gates, the handheld scanners cannot print labels, and a pharmaceutical customer has temperature-controlled stock that must ship by 14:00. Customs declarations for two ports are filed from the same encrypted system. Your largest retail customer's contract has a penalty clause for missed delivery windows. The operations director wants to restart on paper. Can you, and what has to be true first?
Day two of a ransomware outage at a 2,000-person logistics company. Dispatch, billing and the warehouse system are encrypted. The attacker wants 4.2 million dollars in cryptocurrency, offers a 20% discount if you pay within 48 hours, and has published a sample of stolen payroll files. IT says restoring from backup will take nine to fourteen days, and two of the backup sets have not been verified clean. The insurer's panel negotiator is on the line. The CEO turns to the room and asks for a recommendation by 17:00.
