Cyber Tabletop Exercise Training by Cyber Brews

Cybersecurity Tabletop Exercise (TTX) Design & Facilitation Workshop

This in-person tabletop exercise (TTX) training workshop is designed for professionals who want to do more than participate in tabletop exercises—they want to run their own.

Participants will experience a facilitated cyber incident tabletop while also learning how to design, conduct, and document tabletop exercises that support incident response readiness and CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 assessment objectives.

This workshop blends hands-on participation with practical instruction, giving attendees the tools and confidence to take tabletop exercises back to their own organizations.

What You’ll Learn

Participants will learn how to:

• Design tabletop exercises aligned to organizational size, mission, and risk
• Build realistic scenarios and injects that drive meaningful discussion
• Facilitate tabletop exercises across technical and non-technical roles
• Capture decisions, assumptions, and gaps during an exercise
• Conduct effective hot washes and after-action discussions
• Use tabletop exercises to support CMMC Level 1 and Level 2 practices, including incident response and operational readiness

You’ll see how a tabletop unfolds in real time, then break down why it was structured that way and how to replicate it.

What You’ll Experience

• A guided, facilitator-led cyber incident scenario
• Small-group participation with progressive injects
• Real-time discussion and decision-making
• Instructor walkthroughs of scenario design and facilitation techniques
• Practical guidance on documentation and lessons learned
• Templates and approaches you can reuse for your own exercises

This is not a lecture-only workshop. Active participation is encouraged, but no prior tabletop experience is required.

NOTE: This is not a NAC-ISSA event. Registration is handled through the Cyber Brews registration page.
