ABOUT CYBER AMBUSH

Readiness that has not been tested is an assumption. Hope is not a strategy.

01 / WHY IT EXISTS

Founded by leaders who clearly understand the consequences of being unprepared.

A plan on paper isn't proof. Define the threat, model the risk, then prove it under pressure.

Most organizations have an incident response plan. Few have watched their own people use it while systems are down, the phones are ringing and the facts are still unclear. That is where plans break: unclear decision rights, missing contacts, untested backups and notification deadlines nobody tracked.

Cyber Ambush exists so that first test happens in an exercise, not during a real attack.

02 / WHAT CYBER AMBUSH IS

A live cyber tabletop exercise platform.

Cyber Ambush runs realistic cyber incident simulations for your leadership and response teams. An Operator builds or picks a scenario, such as ransomware, business email compromise or a vendor breach, and releases injects on a timed schedule. Participants respond from their own seats in real time.

Every decision is captured as it happens. When the exercise ends, the platform produces an after-action review with findings and an improvement plan your team can act on.

03 / THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE

Traditional tabletops are too slow and too rare.

A facilitated tabletop exercise often takes weeks to plan, costs thousands of dollars and happens once a year, if at all. By the next one, the team, the threats and the systems have changed.

Cyber Ambush cuts preparation to hours, so you can exercise every quarter, test new staff and rehearse the threats that matter to your industry right now.

04 / WHO IT IS FOR

Organizations that answer for their readiness.

Small and midsize businesses, healthcare providers, local governments, school districts, defense suppliers and the managed service providers who support them. When a board, regulator, insurer or customer expects you to show your incident response works, Cyber Ambush gives you the evidence.

05 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT

The operator and the counsel.
