Ransom decisions are made under pressure with no practice
When ransomware hits, leadership faces pay-or-don't-pay decisions with legal, financial, and reputational consequences. Most teams have never rehearsed the call.
Practice the ransomware decisions your team cannot improvise
Rehearse ransom posture, restore sequencing, law enforcement coordination, and stakeholder communications in a guided tabletop with a structured report.
The Problem
Ransomware gaps teams usually discover too late
Recovery timelines are unknown until the crisis
Teams assume backups work and recovery takes hours. A tabletop exposes the gap between assumed and actual recovery capability before it matters.
Law enforcement and regulatory coordination is untested
Reporting obligations, FBI coordination, and disclosure timelines add complexity that most teams discover mid-incident.
Ransomware-specific capabilities
Exercise the calls that shape recovery
Ransom decision practice
Scenarios present realistic ransom demands with escalating pressure, forcing leadership to practice the pay-or-restore decision with legal, financial, and reputational context.
Recovery timeline testing
Injects reveal backup restoration gaps, RTO/RPO mismatches, and dependency chains that extend recovery timelines beyond what teams assumed.
Stakeholder communications
Practice coordinating with law enforcement, notifying regulators, managing board communications, and controlling public messaging — all under time pressure.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
TTXLab supports ransomware-specific scenarios including encryption events, double extortion (data exfiltration + encryption), supply chain ransomware, and targeted executive pressure. Scenarios adapt based on participant decisions.
Yes. Scenarios include decision points around ransom payment, backup restoration timelines, and the tradeoffs between paying and recovering independently. The report captures how leadership navigated these decisions.
Scenarios include injects that require participants to decide when and how to engage law enforcement, how to coordinate with FBI or CISA, and how to manage parallel communications with regulators and stakeholders.
Yes. Exercises support role-based participation so executives, legal, IT, and communications teams can each practice their specific responsibilities in a coordinated scenario.
Reports map findings to NIST CSF, NIST 800-61, CISA ransomware guidance, and ISO 22301 business continuity controls. Each recommendation includes specific control references.
