Virtual Tabletop Exercise Cyber

Exercise Description:

This VTTX is designed for organizations interested in raising awareness of cyber risk management, cyber related planning, and other issues related to cyber incident prevention, protection, and response.  The scenario will focus on increasingly complex and severe cyber threats, beginning with general information on a potential security risk and culminating with the containment, eradication, and recovery from a cyber-incident.  The complexity of this exercise will largely depend on your organization’s choice of recommended discussion questions (beginner, intermediate, advanced), based on your audience and general level of cybersecurity preparedness experience.

Scenarios threat vectors may consist of one or several of the following:

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)

• PII breach/data exfiltration

• Wiper Malware

• Phishing/spear phishing

• User error

• Website defacement 

Exercise Goals: All National Exercise Program training events must support one or more of the Principal Objectives. The Principal Objectives are high-level strategic goals based on national preparedness priorities across the homeland security enterprise.
