Tabletop Exercise

The CrowdStrike® Tabletop Exercise is discussion-based and provides an incident scenario that has been tailored to your unique environment and operational needs. The Services team facilitates a discussion with your response team that includes the actions that are required, who is responsible for them, who needs to be notified and how to coordinate these multiple moving parts.

The challenge

 

It is vitally important for an organization to prepare and train for potential cyber incidents or attacks but there are challenges in doing so.
Tailored to your needs
Tailored to your needs

Any exercise needs to be based on your environment, including the controls in place to prevent and detect attacker activity. A scenario will be developed that is both relevant to the current threat landscape and specific to your high-value assets and the threats targeting them.

Fast and effective

The Tabletop Exercise guides your team through a targeted attack scenario that accurately and effectively mimics the experience of a targeted attack, but takes less time than a real attack and has no negative repercussions for the business or team members.

Realism is the key to effectiveness, so the Tabletop Exercise features a series of injects that simulate real-world inputs. They test your team’s ability to respond to new information as it occurs and probe your investigation, communication and coordination capabilities.
