Rehearse the cyber crisis before it is real.

A flight simulator for your crisis cell

Cybertactik is a cyber crisis simulation your leadership team plays live. Everyone joins at the same time, each person in a role, and the team works a realistic attack from the first alert to the debrief. The mistakes get made here, where they cost points instead of patients, clients or a reputation.

  • Your team rehearses a real attack, in real time.

  • Every decision has a price the whole room can see.

  • You find the holes in your plan before an attacker does.

The rules of the game

Up to eight people, one browser each, one clock for everyone. Nothing to install: an invitation link opens a seat.

  • Players assigned to incident command, security analysis, infrastructure and care in the session lobby.

    Everyone has a role

    Incident commander, SOC, operations, business, communications, legal, chief executive, board. Each seat sees its own cards and carries its own decisions. An empty seat can be played by the scenario.

  • An active SOC investigation showing the vendor VPN session logs.

    Find the evidence

    Logs, emails and exports hide what actually happened. A right answer unlocks the next moves. A wrong one costs time, money and stress, and sends the team down a false lead.

  • A discovered compromised account with buttons to transmit the finding to another role.

    Share what you know

    One role finds, another acts. Players write to each other one to one and pass their findings to whoever can use them. Nobody gets through it alone.

  • The incident report in progress, with sections for evidence, approved decisions and accepted forms.

    Put it in writing

    Situation reports, holding statements, escalation requests. The fields are filled with what the team has found and shared, so a report built on a guess shows.

  • The crisis log showing a timed inject asking the team to activate the crisis cell.

    The crisis keeps moving

    The clock runs and new events land while you work: a service goes down, management wants answers, a new alert shows up. The session moves through five acts, from onboarding to the debrief.

  • The resilience index and gauges for services, containment, capacity, trust and stress.

    Every choice costs something

    Isolate the network and care slows down. Wait, and the attacker gets further. Gauges for services, threat, capacity, trust and team stress show what each decision did.

At the end, a report for your board

When the clock stops, Cybertactik writes up the session from what the team actually did.

  • Every decision, with the time it was made

  • Five scores

  • The key moments of the session

  • A written after-action account

You hand it to your board, your insurer or your auditor.

Scenarios

One scenario is published and playable today. Three more are being written.

  • A hospital IT office at dawn, seen from a dark corridor: an empty chair and a monitor glowing red.
    Available

    Hospital: patient data breach

    An endpoint alert at 06:40 that nobody has read, and 48,200 patient records that left the building overnight, between 02:14 and 04:36. Eleven hospital services, forty-five minutes on the clock.

  • Workers in high-visibility vests stand beside a stopped production line while a supervisor faces a control panel under an orange beacon.
    Coming

    Factory: DDoS and production stoppage

    A denial of service on the plant network, and a production line at a standstill.

  • A warehouse loading dock at night in the rain: trucks waiting, pallets stacked and two workers with a handheld scanner.
    Coming

    Warehouse: ransomware and blocked shipments

    Ransomware in the warehouse systems, and shipments that stop leaving the dock.

  • A hospital pharmacy at night: a pharmacist on the phone and a nurse waiting at the counter with an empty tray.
    Coming

    Hospital: pharmacy paralysed

    The hospital pharmacy is at a standstill and the wards still need their medication.
