Tabletop Exercises

Pressure-test your incident response before an attacker does

Realistic, facilitated tabletop exercises that put your team — from the SOC to the C-suite — through the decisions a real breach demands. Find the gaps in your plan while the stakes are still hypothetical.

The difference

I've been on both sides of the incident

Almost no one has done both jobs. As a former government hacker, I built and ran the kinds of operations your team is trying to defend against — and as a DFIR consultant, I've since responded to real incidents caused by adversaries just like the one I used to be. That dual perspective changes everything about a tabletop: I know where an attacker actually goes next, which of your assumptions they'll quietly exploit, and how a real response comes apart under pressure — because I've sat in both chairs. Your exercise is built on that firsthand experience, not a generic checklist.

What's included

A real incident, without the real damage

1

Scenarios built for you

Threat scenarios tailored to your industry, your stack, and the adversaries actually targeting you — ransomware, business email compromise, insider threat, supply chain, and ICS/SCADA.

2

Facilitated by an operator

Led by a former nation-state operator and DFIR consultant who has run real incidents under real pressure — not just read the after-action reports.

3

Everyone in the room

Technical responders and executives work the same incident together, so the communication gaps that sink real responses surface here instead of during a breach.

4

Actionable after-action

You leave with a prioritized report of the gaps, decisions, and fixes — ready to take straight to leadership and your board.
