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 supplier's new bank details

Your accounts payable team receives an email from your largest packaging supplier, sent from their real address and replying to a genuine invoice thread. It says they have changed banks after an audit and attaches a signed letter with new account details. The clerk calls the number on the letter, gets a confirmation, updates the vendor record and pays $186,000 on Tuesday. On Friday the supplier's credit controller phones to ask why the invoice is overdue. Your bank says the receiving account is at another bank, which has not replied. What happens in the next hour?

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.

A tampered third-party script skims cards on your checkout page

Your acquiring bank emails: card-fraud analysis links 212 fraudulent transactions to cards used on your online store over the past five weeks, and they want a forensic investigation. Your developers find nothing changed in your own code. Then a front-end engineer notices the checkout page loads a chat widget from a vendor's CDN, and the script now contains 40 extra lines of obfuscated JavaScript that post form fields to an unfamiliar domain. The widget is on every page, including payment. Peak-season trading starts in nine days. What do you remove, what do you keep, and what do you tell the bank?

An attacker in your supplier portal changes bank details and plants files

Accounts payable at your industrial equipment manufacturer pays $860,000 to a long-standing steel supplier, and three days later the supplier asks where its money is. The bank details on file were changed through your supplier self-service portal two weeks ago, by a login using the supplier's own account. The same account uploaded six updated 'drawing packages' that your design engineers have since opened. Two other suppliers report odd password-reset emails from your portal. The portal is run by a SaaS vendor your procurement team chose. What do you check, freeze and tell suppliers today?
