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.

The CEO's voice asks for an urgent transfer

The group financial controller takes a call from what sounds exactly like the CEO, who is travelling. He says a confidential acquisition must close today, the lawyers will email instructions, and nobody else can know yet. Minutes later an email arrives from an outside law firm with wire details for €1.9 million and a signed letter of intent. The controller is uneasy and calls the CEO's mobile, which goes to voicemail. A voice note then arrives from an unknown number, in the CEO's voice, repeating the request. The bank cut-off is in 45 minutes. What should happen?

Fraudulent cross-border payment messages leave through your own gateway

Friday, 18:20. A correspondent bank calls your payments operations desk about three outbound cross-border transfers sent in the last two hours: $4.2 million, $6.8 million and $9.5 million, to beneficiaries in three countries you rarely deal with. The messages were authenticated through your own payment messaging gateway using two valid operator accounts, one belonging to someone on leave. The daily reconciliation that would have caught them runs at 22:00, and today's printed confirmation report shows nothing unusual. Some of the funds may already have been credited. Who calls whom first, and what do you switch off?

  • CISO / Head of security
  • Incident response lead
  • CFO / Finance
  • IT operations
  • Legal counsel
  • CEO / Managing director
  • SOC analyst
