When it comes to cybersecurity, preparation is everything. While no organization can fully eliminate the risk of a cyberattack, how you respond during a crisis makes all the difference. CoAction’s enhanced Tabletop Exercises (TTX) provide organizations with the tools, strategies, and real-world experience needed to effectively manage cyber incidents and maintain operational resilience.
What is a Tabletop Exercise (TTX)?
A TTX is a simulation-based exercise designed to test an organization’s readiness to handle cyber threats. Unlike traditional TTX methods, CoAction integrates live-fire scenarios to replicate the high-pressure environment of an actual cyberattack. This innovative approach allows technical teams to:
- Adapt to Higher Operational Tempos: Practice decision-making under attack.
- Improve Tactical Response Skills: Strengthen the identification, containment, eradication, and recovery phases of incident response.
- Navigate Communication Challenges: Manage critical information flow between technical teams, leadership, and external stakeholders during a crisis.

- When should law enforcement be involved?
External Coordination
- Which external parties must be engaged during and after the threat is mitigated?
