    Adversarial Precision

    Every exercise is grounded in real-world TTPs and current threat actor behaviors — not generic scenarios. Your team trains against the adversaries that are actually targeting your sector.

    Practitioner-Led Facilitation

    Our facilitators are operators: red teamers, detection engineers, and incident responders who have run these scenarios in production environments. They don't just run exercises; they make your team better at the work.

    Findings That Drive Action

    Every engagement closes with a detailed findings report, prioritized gaps, and concrete recommendations. You leave knowing exactly what to fix and in what order.

    Tabletop Exercises (TTX)


    Stress-Test Your Plans Without the Incident

    A plan that's never been tested is an assumption. SCYTHE's Tabletop Exercises put your incident response playbooks, escalation paths, and cross-functional coordination through structured, scenario-driven pressure with facilitators who know what realistic adversary behavior actually looks like. TTXs are designed for security leadership, IR leads, and the cross-functional stakeholders who make decisions during an active incident. The goal isn't to run through a checklist but it's to surface the gaps in process, communication, and decision-making before they cost you.

    Key Benefits

     

    Validate incident response plans against realistic, threat-informed scenarios, including choose-your-own-adventure branching paths that reflect how real incidents escalate
    Identify gaps in roles, responsibilities, escalation paths, and external communication workflows
    Align technical and non-technical stakeholders on what a real incident looks like and who does what under pressure
    Build muscle memory for high-stakes decision-making in a low-stakes environment

    Deliverables

     

    Customized incident scenarios tailored to your organization's needs.
    Detailed post-exercise report with recommendations for process improvement.
    Facilitated debrief to review findings and actionable next steps.

    Purple Team Exercises (PTE)

    Bridge the Gap Between Red and Blue Teams

    Purple Team Exercises answer the question every detection engineer and SOC lead needs answered: when an adversary executes real TTPs in your environment, do your controls fire? Do your analysts catch it? Does your response workflow hold up? SCYTHE's PTEs are not red team engagements with a blue team watching from a distance. They are structured, collaborative exercises where red and blue operate together — with real-time visibility into adversary actions and the telemetry they generate. The result is a tight feedback loop between offensive execution and defensive validation that accelerates detection engineering and closes control gaps faster than any traditional assessment model.

    Key Benefits

     

    Validate detection and prevention controls against real-world adversary TTPs and multi-stage attack chains

    Identify detection gaps and false negative rates across EDR, SIEM, network, and identity controls
    Accelerate detection engineering by tying rule development directly to emulation findings
    Build shared operational understanding between red and blue teams on what the adversary looks like in your environment

    Deliverables

     

    Adversarial emulation scenarios tailored to your specific environment.
    Comprehensive report on detection efficacy and response improvements.
    Playbook enhancements with recommendations for strengthening defenses.

    Hybrid Tabletop-Purple Team Exercises

    Unify Strategic Planning and Technical Validation

    Our Hybrid Exercises combine the best of TTXs and PTEs, aligning leadership discussions with real-time threat emulation. This approach ensures both strategic and technical teams stay aligned, strengthening your organization’s ability to handle cyber incidents holistically.

    Key Benefits

     

    Improve coordination between leadership and technical teams.
    Gain full-spectrum insights into both process effectiveness and detection capabilities.
    Validate incident response workflows under real-world attack conditions.

    Deliverables

     

    Integrated scenarios blending discussion-based planning and live threat simulation.
    Post-exercise analysis covering both high-level strategy and technical findings.
    Tailored recommendations for improving processes and defensive readiness.
