Strategic Cybersecurity Exercises

Strategic Cybersecurity Exercises are used to help various teams develop and refine necessary strategies, recovery and continuity plans for responsible personnel in the case of incidents or crises.

Scenario-based simulations and discussions provide participants though provocation and set a fundamental baseline for betterment of regulations and policies. Our goal is to create fictitious “discomfort” to get the training audience out of the comfort zone. Through this “regulated chaos” we are able to efficiently test their decision-making skills in a safe training environment.

Our Strategic Cybersecurity Exercises do not require a high level of technical knowledge as the focus relies in strategy, decision-making and policies and procedures.

Exercises can be conducted in various formats, both in-person and online as well as in an individual scenario-based discussion or in a working-group format.

Most effective formats and scoping of the Exercise can be done in an introductory session.

How We Work?

Scenario-Based Exercise

Each exercise is conducted via a fictitious scenario based on past real-life events and incidents to provide realism and interaction.

Division of “Substantive” & “Framework” issues

Often times decision themselves are easier to make than the necessary aspects agreed upon beforehand to make them. Hence, the division of “substantive” and “framework” issues is a vital tool to exercise success.

Instant Results Visualization

The STRATEX Software offers instant capturing and visualization of Exercise results, facilitating fruitful discussions and opinions.

Comprehensive Progress Management

The STRATEX Software allows exercise management personnel to comprehensively monitor and manage the exercise progress, guaranteeing a timely and problem free execution.

STRATEX Platform

RiskSight’s Strategic Cybersecurity Exercises are carried out on a proprietary exercise management tool called the STRATEX Platform. The tool is highly scalable, very intuitive to use and can simultaneously support a large number of participants across the globe. The tool has an effective and instant feedback module that makes it engaging not only to participants but also observers. Its data capture functionalities ensure that Exercise discussions will not be lost and can be used for later in-depth analysis. The Exercise is usually accompanied by a feedback session where main events, decisions and reactions are analyzed. This ensures participant engagement and truly effective learning experience.
