Incident Response Tabletop Exercises

Our IR Tabletop Exercises simulate real-world incident scenarios tailored to your organization, allowing you to evaluate your current response processes and capabilities. These exercises provide a collaborative environment for your team to test and refine their reaction strategies in a controlled setting. Through these simulations, we help identify potential gaps, improve coordination, and ensure your team is well-prepared to handle actual incidents effectively, ultimately strengthening your incident response strategy and security posture.

Incident Simulation & Response Exercise

Our experienced security practitioners conduct comprehensive IR tabletop exercises designed to put your incident response plan to the test. These simulations ensure your plan is thorough, and that all key stakeholders understand their roles during a security incident. By engaging in these exercises, you will be able to assess your team’s adherence to the defined processes and the overall effectiveness of your response. We assist by:

  • Developing and delivering a customized incident simulation to test your IR plan and processes.
  • Offering clear, actionable recommendations to enhance and refine your incident response program for improved preparedness.

Collaborating with You on the Right Tabletop Approach

Our team of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) professionals works closely with your organization to design and tailor tabletop exercises based on predefined scenario topics or custom-developed scenarios to meet your specific needs.

We collaborate with your team to gather essential details about your organization, including current processes, policies, infrastructure, tools, and other relevant information. This ensures we create a customized incident scenario that effectively evaluates and tests your incident response process, helping identify areas for improvement and optimizing your overall preparedness.

Simulating an Incident

The incident simulation process follows this flow:

  • A time is scheduled to execute the simulated incident with participants as defined in your existing incident response plan.
  • Our facilitator will present your team with the custom scenario developed for the simulation and observe how your team discusses and responds to the incident.
  • During the exercise, the facilitator will provide observations and recommendations to guide the team, while also evaluating the effectiveness of the response to ensure areas for improvement are identified.

Delivering an Actionable Incident Readiness Summary

Our DFIR specialists will develop an incident readiness summary to provide a high-level overview of the incident response exercise. This summary will identify whether the parties followed the plan, assess how effective the plan was in addressing the incident, and highlight any potential gaps or opportunities for improvement to strengthen your overall incident response process.
