Drill leaders and responders on one live breach
We are redefining traditional TTXs to fully measure and develop organizational crisis readiness.

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.

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.
Tabletop Delivery

🧠 More realistic than discussion-only TTXs
Run scenario waves, injects, emails, news, social updates, and optional hands-on investigation in one platform-led experience.

“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.”
Choose the right tabletop format for your objective
Executive and leadership readiness

Validate escalation paths, crisis communications, business continuity, and governance through simulations tailored for executives and business stakeholders.
Cross-functional incident response readiness

Validate crisis coordination alongside technical investigation, containment decisions, escalation, and cross-team collaboration through simulations built for executives, SOC, IT, legal, communications, and technical teams.
Experience a business crisis,
not just a SOC event
Navigate a rapidly escalating corporate threat landscape. Scroll to advance through the live timeline injections and observe how cross-functional containment models adapt under fire.
Set the Scene
Align on the threats, stakeholders, and business risks that matter most to your organization to produce a tailored scenario aligned to your objectives.
Something's Not Right
A cyber crisis unfolds through breaking news, stakeholder communications, media scrutiny, and timed injects.
Under Pressure
Executives face business disruption, legal implications, regulatory scrutiny, and competing priorities while responders work to understand what is happening.
A second set of eyes
Legal, communications, risk, and other stakeholders join the discussion. Executives are asked to weigh in, challenge assumptions, give feedback, and acknowledge emerging risks as new information arrives.
Follow the Breadcrumbs
New intelligence, technical findings, and conflicting information emerge as the investigation progresses.
Raise the Stakes
Customer impact, executive pressure, media attention, third parties, and regulators introduce new challenges and force critical decisions.
Debrief & Analysis
Review key decisions, missed opportunities, communication breakdowns, and response strengths with HTB facilitators.
When simulation becomes strategy
Access a board-ready report that validates playbooks, highlights strengths and areas for improvement, and reinforces existing procedures.
Turn SOPs into tested response playbooks through realistic simulations.
Enhance collaboration and communication within teams.
Expose gaps in response and communication.
Utilize recommendations tailored to targeted training and continuous improvement.
Access technical annexes detailing the attack chain and system compromises.
Harness actionable insights to satisfy auditors and regulators. Justify resource allocation.

Start with tailored APT-aligned scenarios based on real-life incidents or geopolitical risks
Our Crisis Control delivery team has created a catalogue of baseline scenarios that can be tailored to your organization’s objectives, threat landscape, stakeholders, and response priorities — helping you pressure-test readiness against the situations that matter most.

Operation Thunderstrike
APT: Volt Typhoon
Operation Thunderstrike
APT: Volt Typhoon
Recent intelligence indicates that a sophisticated, state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, "Typhoon Tempest" (emulating Volt Typhoon capabilities), has been actively targeting critical infrastructure organizations like NexusNet.

Anglerfish Anomaly
APT: Cuttlefish Malware
Anglerfish Anomaly
APT: Cuttlefish Malware
A recent threat intelligence report has highlighted a new, sophisticated malware variant, "Anglerfish" (emulating Cuttlefish/HiatusRAT capabilities), specifically targeting SOHO routers to steal credentials, redirect traffic, and establish covert proxies. While the initial infection vector is currently unknown, the malware is designed to operate stealthily, persist in memory, and manipulate network traffic at the router level.

Operation Silk Road Serpent
APT: APT33
Operation Silk Road Serpent
APT: Mustang Panda
Recent intelligence indicates that a sophisticated, state-sponsored Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) group, "Silk Road Serpent" (emulating Mustang Panda capabilities), has been actively targeting organizations like GlobalTech for intelligence gathering.

Operation Ghost in the Machine
APT: APT33
Operation Ghost in the Machine
APT: APT33
Recent intelligence advisories have highlighted a sharp uptick in activity from APT33 (AKA Elfin, HOLMIUM, Peach Sandstorm), a well-documented, nation-state-aligned threat group. Historically focused on espionage, APT33 has recently demonstrated a dangerous shift towards disruptive and destructive capabilities, particularly against operational technology (OT) and critical infrastructure operators.

Scattered Wealth
APT: Scattered Spider
Scattered Wealth
APT: Scattered Spider
Recent intelligence advisories, including a critical alert from Google's Threat Intelligence Group (June 2025), have highlighted a significant expansion in activity from Scattered Spider, a notorious group of young, English-speaking cybercriminals. Their primary method of breaching networks involves sophisticated social engineering tactics, particularly impersonating employees to trick IT help desk staff into resetting passwords or bypassing Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).

Operation Snowfall
APT: Snowflake Breach
Operation Snowfall
APT: Snowflake Breach
Recent intelligence indicates that a financially motivated threat group, "GlimmerHunters" (emulating ShinyHunters capabilities), has been actively targeting cloud data warehousing environments like DataVault's. This group specializes in gaining unauthorized access to cloud storage accounts, exfiltrating sensitive client data, and then extorting ransoms in exchange for deleting the stolen data.
