The MiSecure team has developed a set of tabletop exercises for school districts to enhance their preparedness for cybersecurity events and incidents. 

Each package is customizable and includes template exercise objectives, scenarios, and discussion questions and a curated collection of references and resources. While these exercises can be used “out-of-the-box, we recommend tailoring them to your organization’s specific environment.

Need assistance? If you need assistance running a tabletop exercise, reach out to the MISecure team. For the most effective experience, we recommend choosing a facilitator who is not a participant in the exercise.

Prerequisite: We strongly recommend developing a cybersecurity incident response plan before running these exercises. If you need a starting point, consider our MiSecure Incident Response Planning templates.
