Cyber Incident Exercising is commonly used by organisations as a way to test their current incident response procedures, processes and policies.
The purpose of the exercises is to learn, practice and play out various Cyber Security Incident Response scenarios. This allows you to test your staff’s reaction to an incident and simply see what could happen within your organisation when a compromise, data loss, false positive, insider threat or any other relevant situation happens.
Following the exercise, the team at 3B Data Security would then make recommendations on improving your organisation’s preparedness and resilience when facing cyber incidents. Where necessary, we can also provide assistance with response planning and playbook creation or revision.

Cyber Incident Exercising are role-playing exercises to help organisations test their preparedness and response to a potential cyber incident.
Tabletop Exercises
These are discussion-based sessions where representatives from relevant teams gather to talk about their roles, responsibilities, anticipated activities, and key decision points as outlined in an incident response plan. Our team facilitates these discussions, which are driven by a pre-prepared cyber incident scenario.
Live Play Exercises These exercises involve team members responding to simulated cyber incidents with controlled prompts provided by our team. Each participant gets different prompts, and they act and make decisions in near real-time.
By running through scenarios in a controlled environment, these exercises are a great way to identify any gaps or weaknesses in an organisation’s existing incident response plans and develop better strategies for responding to an incident. They also give you the opportunity to see where the flaws are in your current incident response plans, without exposing the organisation to a live incident.
The Cyber Incident Exercising service we offer is fully customised to suit your specific industry and organisational needs.
After initial discussions with key stakeholders and technical teams to understand your unique context, including common threats and specific industry challenges, we craft scenarios and real-life incident injects.
During the exercise, our team guides participants, either online or in-house, through various scenarios that mimic real-life incidents, drawing on intelligence from our ongoing investigations. This approach helps in realistically testing and enhancing your team's response strategies.
As the exercise unfolds, we continuously adapt the scenarios based on the latest findings and techniques in incident response. Following the exercise, we provide targeted recommendations to bolster your organisation's incident preparedness and resilience, offering support in response planning and playbook optimisation.
