The scenario: At 22:40 on a Thursday, an employee approves an MFA prompt she doesn’t quite recognise. She thinks nothing more of it. Friday morning, things start to feel wrong. From there the room takes over: who do we notify, do we shut systems down, do we talk to the press, do we pay, do we involve the police? Every choice opens a different branch of the scenario — new injects, new time pressure, and consequences the participants triggered themselves.
Participants leave with:
- Hands-on experience making crisis decisions under time pressure with incomplete information
- An understanding of how a single user-level choice escalates into an organisation-wide crisis
- A concrete picture of how a branching tabletop exercise is designed and facilitated
- Three or four questions they should put to their own response plan on Monday
