Pentest People, the Penetration Testing as a Service and cybersecurity experts, today announces it has become one of only a few companies in the UK to be an Assured Service Provider in the recently launched National Cyber Security Centre Cyber Incident Exercising scheme.
Run by the NCSC, through its 'Delivery Partners' CREST and IASME, this initiative enables organisations to easily find reliable cybersecurity professionals capable of evaluating the robustness of their cyber incident response plans and enhancing overall incident management processes.
Table-top exercises - Discussion-based sessions where relevant teams come together to discuss their roles, responsibilities, anticipated activities, and critical decision points outlined in the incident response plan.
These sessions are facilitated by the CIE Assured Service Provider and are guided by a cyber incident scenario.
Live-play exercises - A role-play exercise, team members perform their designated roles and responsibilities within their regular work environment, responding to a controlled feed of information that simulates a specific cyber incident scenario.
Activities and decisions unfold in real-time, while the incident pace and timeline are orchestrated by an exercise control function.
The exercises will address incidents with the potential for significant operational, financial, or regulatory repercussions on the affected entity.
The scheme includes incidents categorised as Category 3, 4, and 5 within the UK's Cyber Attack categorisation system.
