ALERT
Your EDR just quarantined the backup server.

It flagged a credential-dumping tool that ran six hours ago. Nightly backups completed after that. The CISO inbox has a meeting invite from the CFO titled "quick sync" in 20 minutes.

First move?

Fictional scenario, real grading rubric. The full product grades every decision in a 45-minute to 6-hour run.

What you actually get

  • — Live incidents where the decision matters and the clock is real.
  • — A board that pushes back, then grades containment, disclosure, and communication.
  • — A written board report you can study, so the feedback outlasts the session.
  • — Five security tools alongside the simulator, with more added over time.
