    Building Confidence Through Simulation:

    Objectives

    This exercise aims to achieve the following:

    Evaluate Incident Response Readiness:
    Assess Client’s existing IR plans and procedures to identify strengths and weaknesses.
    Enhance Coordination & Communication:
    Improve internal communication among IT, security, and executive teams during a cyber incident.
    Identify Process Gaps & Improvements
    Uncover areas where current response strategies may fall short and provide recommendations for improvement.
    Improve Decision-Making Under Pressure
    Train key personnel to make informed decisions in the face of a cybersecurity incident.

    Scope of Engagement

    Cyber Offsec will facilitate a tailored Incident Response Tabletop Exercise to assess the Client’s ability to detect, respond to, and recover from cyber incidents. Aligned with industry best practices, the exercise will cover multiple attack phases and include a range of realistic scenarios, such as:

    Threat Scenarios and Attack Phases
    • Initial Compromise: Potential entry points such as phishing emails, insider threats, cloud misconfigurations, or unauthorized physical device connections.
    • Privilege Escalation & Lateral Movement: Techniques including credential theft, password spraying, Active Directory mapping, and privilege escalation strategies.
    • Persistence Mechanisms: Methods such as new account creation, login script modifications, and DLL sideloading to maintain attacker footholds.
    • Exfiltration & Command and Control: Scenarios involving data exfiltration through DNS tunneling, ICMP tunneling, or covert C2 channels leveraging platforms like GitHub.
    • Incident Impact & Response: How Client detects, contains, eradicates, and recovers from such cyber threats while ensuring business continuity.

    Each scenario will be tailored to Client’s threat landscape and infrastructure, with an emphasis on enhancing response coordination and decision-making.

    Pre-Engagement Preparation
    • Review of Client’s existing incident response plan, policies, and procedures.
    • Coordination with key stakeholders to define roles, responsibilities, and objectives.
    • Customization of incident scenarios based on Client’s industry, threat landscape, and business operations.
      Tabletop Exercise Execution
      • Facilitated, discussion-based simulation engaging key IT, security, and executive stakeholders.
      • Guided walkthroughs of cyber incident scenarios, aligned with real-world threats.
      • Evaluation of existing security controls, response processes, and communication workflows.
      Post-Exercise Review & Recommendations
      • Debriefing session with key stakeholders to discuss findings.
      • Detailed report outlining strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.
      • Actionable recommendations to enhance Client’s incident response maturity.
      • Follow-up consultation to assist in the implementation of suggested improvements.

      Scenarios will be designed around the Client’s specific environment, aiming to improve cross-team coordination and strategic response.
