Cybersecurity Tabletop Exercise

This structured tabletop exercise fulfills the US Coast Guard’s requirement for periodic cybersecurity exercises by walking participants through a realistic, scenario-driven cyber incident. The session promotes collaborative discussion, tests organizational preparedness, and helps validate the effectiveness of the Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan (CIRP).

Key Elements Include:

• A maritime-focused cyber incident scenario (e.g., ransomware, port system breach, OT disruption)

• Role-specific prompts to evaluate decision-making and coordination

• Review of communication procedures and regulatory reporting protocols

• Identification of response gaps and areas for improvement
