Begin with the work
Take on a recognizable organizational goal.
Eight to eighteen players step into different roles on a team. They have a goal to reach, money to manage, systems they depend on, and an hour on the clock.
How it works
The goal is familiar. Then security changes the plan.
CyberSim is a 60-minute, digitally facilitated tabletop exercise best played together in person. Everyone stays busy: acting, responding, watching the dashboard, and adapting as the situation changes.
Meet the event
Respond while the room keeps moving.
Two to four facilitators circulate through the room and place events on players’ tables. The work does not pause while the team figures out what to do.
Act and adapt
Make choices with limited time, attention, and money.
Players fill out activities, respond to events, and coordinate across roles. A projected dashboard shows progress toward the goal, available funds, and which technical systems are still running.
Review the consequences
Turn a frenetic hour into cybersecurity learning.
After the exercise, everyone sits down for an after-action review: what worked, what went wrong, what the consequences were, and what the team would do differently next time.
People, supported by software
The application keeps the exercise moving. A facilitator keeps it meaningful.
Shared dashboard
Keeps the team oriented to its goal, remaining money, and the technical systems still in play.
Human facilitators
Keep the exercise moving, introduce events, receive player responses, and guide the after-action review.
