Take on a shared goal
Eight to eighteen players step into roles on a team with real work to accomplish and limited time and money.
Cybersecurity, around the table
Practice the decisions before the pressure is real.
CyberSim is a fast-paced tabletop exercise where teams pursue a shared goal while cyber disruptions force hard choices. The pressure feels real. The consequences are safely fictional.
A decision unfolds
YOUR GOALKeep the work movingYour team has a job to do.
EVENTA system goes downSecurity just changed the plan.
DECISIONWhat matters most now?Choose, respond, and live with the tradeoff.
Security meets real work
Incidents rarely wait for a convenient moment.
CyberSim puts cybersecurity decisions inside the competing priorities, limited time, and organizational pressure where they actually happen—not inside another lecture.
What CyberSim is
A digitally facilitated exercise, best played together.
For one busy hour, teams act, respond, spend limited resources, and watch their decisions change the outcome—all in a setting where it is safe to lose.
Respond under pressure
Two to four facilitators move through the room, dropping events onto tables while players take activities and write responses.
See what your choices did
A shared dashboard tracks the team’s goal, money, and working systems. An after-action review turns the frenetic hour into practical learning.
Built for public-interest work
For teams whose digital choices affect people.
Civic organizations
Practice protecting your mission while the day’s work keeps demanding attention.
Election teams
Explore the operational choices that can strengthen—or undermine—resilience under pressure.
Public-interest groups
Give people across roles a shared experience they can discuss long after the exercise ends.
Your organization
Curious whether the format fits your team? Start with a conversation.
Proof, without theater
A serious exercise can still feel approachable.
CyberSim focuses on grounded choices and honest tradeoffs—not hacker clichés, fear, or promises that training can solve everything.
