Running tabletops once a year isn’t enough, distributed organizations need operationalized cyber readiness.

The situation this course is for

Leaders are expected to demonstrate resilience across locations, yet most rely on outdated, siloed exercises that don’t scale or inform decision-making. The gap between compliance checklists and real-world coordination is growing.

Who this is for

Business continuity leads, security program managers, risk officers, and technology executives overseeing operations across multiple sites.

Who this is not for

This is not for individuals seeking introductory cybersecurity awareness or one-off incident response training. It’s not for teams running isolated, annual exercises without cross-functional integration or measurement.

What you walk away with

  • Design repeatable, scalable tabletop programs aligned with multi-site operational realities
  • Integrate legal, communications, and leadership into cyber response workflows
  • Develop measurable objectives and improvement loops for each exercise cycle
  • Coordinate consistent execution across regions while allowing for local adaptation
  • Turn tabletop insights into actionable changes in policies, playbooks, and training
