Surefire Cyber develops scenarios based on real-world threat actor tactics, techniques and procedures and facilitates tabletop exercises designed to evaluate and strengthen IR plans and procedures and critical decision-making processes. The exercise format for smaller teams is designed for smaller teams (leadership, IT, or both), first time tabletop participants, or IR plan walkthroughs. That smaller-team format is a facilitated exercise selected from a scenario menu, with light customization. The custom-scenario format is designed for teams with a security plan in place and where customization is desired. The custom-scenario format uses a custom scenario based on infrastructure, threat profile, and business operations. The custom-scenario format includes a written report with an executive summary, key strengths and gaps, prioritized recommendations, and an IR plan template. The fully tailored format is for mature teams who want to include multiple business functions in the exercise or to test against specific scenarios. The fully tailored format includes prep calls, a full scoping document, and live role-play for internal and external communications.[7]
