Desktop Cybersecurity Exercises: Simulated Ransomware Attack Readiness Assessment

‍

‍Service Overview:

Our Desktop Cyber Exercises are scenario-based simulations designed to test and enhance your organisation’s ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents, particularly ransomware attacks. These structured tabletop sessions engage key stakeholders in realistic, evolving attack scenarios tailored to your specific industry, threat landscape, and infrastructure.

‍

Key Features:

• Ransomware Attack Simulation: We simulate a full ransomware attack lifecycle, from initial compromise and lateral movement to data encryption and ransom demand, providing a safe environment to assess readiness without impacting live systems.
• Cross-Functional Participation: Engage IT, legal, communications, compliance, and executive leadership in coordinated response activities.
• Custom Scenarios: Tailored exercises based on real-world threats, threat actor TTPs (tactics, techniques, and procedures), and your specific business environment.
• Incident Response Testing: Evaluate the effectiveness of your incident response plan, communication protocols, escalation paths, and decision-making under pressure.
• Post-Exercise Review & Recommendations: Receive a detailed post incident report outlining observed strengths, weaknesses, and prioritised recommendations to improve cyber resilience.

‍

Benefits:

• Identify gaps in response plans and communication workflows.
• Strengthen organisational coordination and decision-making during cyber crises.
• Improve awareness and preparedness across both technical and non-technical teams.
• Comply with regulatory and industry expectations for cyber risk management and response readiness.
