9 Realms Security
Tabletop Exercise (TTX)
A tabletop exercise puts your team through a realistic incident scenario in a structured, low-pressure environment — so the first time they work through a breach, a ransomware attack, or a business continuity failure is not during the real thing. 9 Realms facilitates consultant-led tabletops powered by the Cydelphi platform, with scenarios scoped to your environment and your risk.
What's Included
- A scoping conversation before the exercise to define the scenario, identify participants, and align on objectives — session length is typically three hours and scales with scenario complexity.
- Facilitation by a 9 Realms security practitioner who has worked real incidents, not just designed exercises.
- Scenario design using the Cydelphi TTX platform, drawing from a library of real-world attack patterns that can be customized to your industry, technology stack, and current threat landscape.
- Structured scenario execution with injects — new developments introduced during the exercise to test decision-making under evolving conditions.
- A post-exercise findings report documenting gaps identified, decisions made, and specific recommendations for strengthening your incident response capability.
- Optional executive or board-level presentation of findings, separate from the working-level session, for organizations that want leadership visibility without putting the IT team on the spot during the exercise itself.
Who It's For
- IT and security teams that want to test their incident response plan before they need it, in an environment where mistakes are learning opportunities rather than consequences.
- Organizations that have an incident response plan on paper but have never actually walked through it as a team.
- Companies with compliance requirements that include documented tabletop exercises, including CMMC, HIPAA, and cyber insurance renewal requirements.
- Leadership teams that want to understand their organization's real readiness without sitting in a technical working session — 9 Realms can run a separate executive-level scenario for the C-suite and board.
