Crisis Control

Drill leaders and responders on one live breach

We are redefining traditional TTXs to fully measure and develop organizational crisis readiness.

63% of organizations & executives are facing cyber threats without the strategy, skills, and response capability needed to keep pace in an era of agentic AI.

Where traditional tabletops fail

Talking through a crisis isn't the same as responding to one.

Exercises scattered across email, chat, and spreadsheets lose realism and context.

Insights end up in reports instead of driving targeted workforce development.

What is Crisis Control?

HTB Crisis Control through realistic cyber crisis simulations where multiple stakeholders rehearse decisions, validate playbooks, improve coordination, and produce board-ready evidence of resilience. Executive and cyber teams can also train together under pressure to test cross-functional collaboration and readiness through parallel strategic and technical simulations.

HTB Crisis Control

Bring collaboration across security and the business

Cross-functional scenarios blend executive decision tracks with technical live-fire work. Teams practice handoffs, communications, and recovery as one unit, allowing to better validate response plans.

“Crisis Control is a realistic approach to simulating a cyber incident. The tabletop was expertly scoped, planned and delivered touching on the key areas that matter during crisis management. Having the team on site for briefings not only makes this more real but improves the feedback cycle during such an exercise. The technical environment does a great job at emulating benign noise enabling a truly realistic experience.”
