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.

A zero-day in your file-transfer appliance is being mass-exploited

A national cyber agency publishes an alert on Thursday evening: a critical, unpatched flaw in the managed file-transfer appliance you use to exchange files with banks, insurers and two government departments is being exploited at scale. The alert lists a web-shell file name and asks organisations to check for it. Your appliance has that file, created four days ago. The appliance holds 30 days of transfers, including claims files with health information. The vendor says a patch is "coming within 48 hours". Your partners start emailing to ask whether you are affected.

Your name appears on a leak site with a countdown

A threat-intelligence feed alerts you that your regional law firm has been listed on a ransomware group's leak site. The post shows a timer with 72 hours remaining, a list of client names, and three screenshots of documents that look like your matter files. There has been no ransomware outbreak and no ransom note, and IT finds nothing encrypted. Partners are asking whether this is real, whether clients must be told before the timer runs out, and whether anyone should contact the group.
