Incident response and forensics

Why Tabletop drills?

Modern cyberattacks are fast, complex, and costly - and most organizations aren't ready. Without regular practice, incident response plans break down under pressure.

IT leaders face:
Disconnected teams unsure of their roles in a breach
Outdated or untested incident response plans
Difficulty aligning executive and technical stakeholders
Compliance pressure without clear readiness proof
High risk of reputational and financial damage
29%
“Only 29% of organizations say they’re very confident in their ability to respond to a cyber incident.”

Our Tabletop drills Approach 

Pinebar’s Tabletop drills are structured, scenario-based simulations that test your incident response capabilities in a controlled environment. Designed for technical and executive teams, these exercises uncover blind spots, improve communication, and make sure rapid, coordinated response to cyber threats.

Whether you're preparing for ransomware, supply chain attacks, or cloud breaches, our experts customize exercises to your unique risk landscape.

The outcome? Fewer surprises, faster response times, and greater confidence under pressure.

Enhancing Cyber Preparedness Across Global Maritime Terminals

A global sea logistics provider partnered with us to assess and improve the cyber readiness at 31 terminals across 8 countries.

Through tailored tabletop exercises delivered in English, French, and Italian, Pinebar simulated realistic threat scenarios including third-party compromises, OT breaches, and insider threats.

Each session was adapted to the local context, driving awareness, strengthening incident response, and fostering cross-terminal collaboration. We delivered tailored, prioritized recommendations aligned with NIST-CSF 2.0, ISO 27001, and NIS2.
