Cyber crisis tabletop exercises: live a real crisis.

Customize, generate, play, improve.

What is UnderCrisis?

UnderCrisis, a cyber crisis exercise platform, generates, plays and analyses crisis management exercises for your organization. Such exercises have existed for a long time as tabletop exercises: you gather the decision-makers around a table, hand them a crisis scenario, and watch how they react. The method has proved itself, but it stays long to prepare, difficult to evaluate, expensive to run and hard to repeat often.

UnderCrisis automates and modernises the tabletop exercise from start to finish. You describe your organization, the platform writes a realistic scenario made for you, then plays it with your teams through a simulated crisis inside the platform.

UnderCrisis covers a full range of crisis types, fully customizable to your needs and your level. It tracks every action and puts improvement front and centre, through reports and comprehensive metrics.

How it works

  1. 01

    Customize

    Describe your organization and context, reflecting your objectives and risks. What comes out resembles no other crisis simulation: it is yours.

  2. 02

    Generate

    Your scenario comes to life. Turns of events, phone calls, decisions under pressure, teams having to work together, etc.: our AI orchestrates all of it, so the tabletop exercise rings true at every moment.

  3. 03

    Play

    The crisis starts, and nothing pauses to let you think. Try to detect, respond and recover while you govern the trade-offs and answer to users, customers and authorities.

  4. 04

    Improve

    Every exercise ends with a full report based on your teams’ reactions, a clear action plan and measures that follow your progress over time. Replay it, make it harder, get better.
