Prepare your organization to respond confidently and effectively to cyber incidents through tailored, facilitator-led tabletop exercises.
Cybersecurity incidents are inevitable — but being unprepared doesn't have to be. Natsar’s tabletop exercises simulate real-world cyber scenarios, helping organizations test their incident response plans, identify gaps, and strengthen team coordination before an actual event occurs.
Natsar has extensive experience conducting tabletop exercises (TTX) for a diverse range of clients, including the U.S. Military, Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and small businesses. We guide your team through critical incidents, allowing you to practice your organization’s response plans before an actual incident occurs. Remember, failing to plan is planning to fail. Tabletop exercises help ensure critical decisions aren’t made for the first time during an active incident.
We offer a range of tabletop exercise services tailored to different needs. For some clients, Natsar facilitates scenarios specifically designed for c-suite executives and boards. These exercises focus on navigating complex legal, regulatory, reputational, risk management, and technical situations, rather than testing IT and security teams. These exercises emphasize decision-making, communication, escalation, and accountability—rather than technical response alone.
In other engagements, we provide realistic scenarios for IT and security teams, including outsourced resources such as managed service providers (MSPs) and managed security service providers (MSSPs).
Whether you supply the scenarios or request Natsar to create tailored scenarios based on your organization’s threat assessment and risks, we evaluate your organization’s ability to identify, protect, detect, respond to, and recover from various threats. These include phishing attacks, ransomware, denial of service attacks, insider threats, extortion, advanced persistent threats (APTs), and more.
Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn how Natsar's tabletop exercises can help strengthen your organization's cybersecurity posture.
Following each exercise, we deliver a comprehensive after-action report (AAR) that highlights strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. This report includes practical steps to refine your incident response plan and address any gaps identified during the exercise. To reinforce the lessons learned, we conduct interactive debriefing sessions where we discuss the outcomes and answer any questions.
Our support doesn’t end with the exercise. We offer ongoing assistance to help you implement recommended changes and ensure continuous improvement in your preparedness. With a proven track record of working with high-profile clients and a variety of industries, Natsar brings unparalleled expertise and a commitment to excellence.
