Run a live tabletop exerciseHypervisors encrypted on a Friday night, data on a leak site, and a ransom demand on the table.
A supplier's “new bank details” and a wire that already left. Can finance and IT claw it back?
A long-lived key pushed to a public repo, a billing spike and storage buckets being listed.
A privileged engineer resigns and gigabytes flow to personal cloud storage. HR, legal and security must act together.
A trusted vendor's signed update was trojanized, and it is installed on hundreds of your machines.
Your storefront and API buckle under a multi-vector flood, then an extortion email arrives.
Customer PII confirmed exfiltrated. GDPR, NIS2 and SEC clocks start ticking in parallel.
A convincing login page beats MFA, a mailbox rule hides the evidence, and the next phish comes from inside.
Your file-transfer provider was mass-exploited. Your customers' data sat on its servers, and you learn it from the news.
The CFO joins a video call with the CEO who urgently needs a transfer. Except the CEO was never on the call.
MFA fatigue hands an attacker a super-admin account in your SSO. Every app you own now trusts them.
A laptop disappears from a car overnight. Nobody is sure what was on it, or whether it was encrypted.
The EHR is down, ambulances may need diverting and paper downtime procedures haven't been drilled in years.
Ransomware is spreading in IT and an HMI starts behaving oddly. Do you stop the line before safety is at stake?
