Introducing Table Top Exercises

In today’s rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape, being prepared for a security incident is crucial. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our new TableTop Exercises feature in ATTACKIFY. This tool is designed to help organizations practice and refine their incident response strategies in a safe, controlled environment.

The Value of TableTop Exercises

Tabletop exercises are collaborative, discussion-based sessions where team members meet to discuss their roles and responses during an emergency. In the context of cybersecurity, these exercises offer several key benefits:

Improved Preparedness: They help teams understand their roles and responsibilities during a cyber incident.
Identify Gaps: Exercises often reveal gaps in existing incident response plans.
Team Cohesion: They foster better communication and collaboration among team members.
Risk-Free Learning: Teams can practice responding to incidents without real-world consequences.
Compliance: Many regulatory frameworks require regular testing of incident response plans.

ATTACKIFY‘s TableTop Scenario Feature

Our new feature brings the power of tabletop exercises to your browser. Here’s what you can expect:

Diverse Scenarios: We offer a range of cybersecurity scenarios, from ransomware attacks to data breaches, covering various threat types and actors.

Step-by-Step Workflow: Each exercise guides you through a structured process:
  - Setting objectives
  - Presenting the initial scenario
  - Introducing new information (injects)
  - Facilitating discussion
  - Summarizing findings and action items

Timed Challenges: Experience the pressure of real-world incidents with timed response sections.

Hint System: Access helpful hints categorized by different aspects of incident response (Procedural, Technical, Communication, Legal, Management).

Progress Saving: Your responses are saved locally in your browser, allowing you to pause and resume exercises as needed.

Privacy-Focused: All exercise data is stored locally within your browser, ensuring your sensitive discussions remain private.

Developing Your Own Scenarios

While ATTACKIFY provides a range of pre-built scenarios, the real power of tabletop exercises comes from customization. Use our exercises as a template to create scenarios that are specific to your organization’s threat landscape, infrastructure, and processes.

Consider these steps when developing your own scenarios:

Identify Relevant Threats: What are the most likely or impactful threats to your organization?

Map to Your Infrastructure: How would these threats interact with your specific systems and data?

Involve Key Stakeholders: Who needs to be involved in responding to different types of incidents?

Create Realistic Injects: What kinds of complications or new information might arise during an incident?

Define Clear Objectives: What do you want your team to learn or practice in each exercise?
