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.

Friday night encryption with a skeleton crew

It is 23:15 on the Friday before a long weekend. The only on-call engineer gets an alert for mass file renames on a file server, then twelve more servers in five minutes. The SOC is outsourced: it has opened a ticket but cannot isolate hosts without written approval. The IT manager is on a flight until 06:00, the CISO is not answering, and the incident response retainer's hotline wants a contract number nobody on shift has. The attacker is still active. Who can authorise isolation right now, and what do you pull first?
