● Cyber Crisis Exercise Platform
Your PowerPoint tabletop isn't stress-testing anyone.
Static slides and scripted discussion give teams a false sense of readiness. Verdus Cyber drops your people into a live, escalating incident (real injects, ringing phones, mounting press) and scores how they actually perform under pressure.

The Problem
Readiness on paper is not readiness under fire.
Traditional exercises rehearse the plan; they don't rehearse the pressure. And generic simulation tools were built for disaster recovery, not the chaos of a live cyber crisis.
01 · Paper TTX
No real pressure
Slides and a facilitator reading a script. Everyone agrees on the “right” answer because nothing is actually happening.
02 · Generic platforms
Wrong problem
DR/BC tools model outages and recovery time. A cyber crisis is adversarial, multi-channel and reputational.
03 · Once a year
No measurement
An annual box-tick produces a PDF nobody reads. Without evidence-based scoring you can't prove improvement.
The Platform
A real crisis, run in your browser.
Purpose-built for cyber crisis tabletop exercises, not adapted from disaster recovery. Your team faces the same escalating pressure they'll meet in an actual incident.
Adaptive inject engine
65+ injects across 20+ categories, sequenced live by your facilitator. Your decisions change what comes next.
Multi-channel pressure
Ringing phones, breaking news, social backlash, regulator deadlines and internal panic, all in one console.
Evidence-based debrief
Every decision is timestamped and scored against NIST CSF, ISO 27001, MITRE ATT&CK and DORA.
Industry Scenarios
Ten scenarios, built for your industry.
From SWIFT compromise to OT shutdown: each scenario carries the injects, communication channels and compliance duties its sector actually faces.
