Introduction
Build a tabletop exercise around your real exposure, ready before you walk in.
Bob Vescio, Chief Innovation Officer of X-Analytics, walks through an agent in the X-Analytics AI Toolbox: the Tabletop Prep Tool agent.
What it does
Tabletop Prep is an AI agent in the X-Analytics AI Toolbox that builds a ready-to-run tabletop exercise tailored to your organization's real cyber risk exposure.
It guides you through the build from start to finish. You answer a short series of questions, and the agent assembles the setup, objectives, scenarios, and the final report for you.
How it works
The agent starts with your profile: industry, total cyber exposure, top threat vectors, and highest-risk scenarios, among other details. From there it walks you through four phases:
- Exercise setup: when the exercise runs, how long it lasts, its format, who sponsors it, and who participates
- Objectives and scope: what the exercise is designed to test, from executive decision-making to clarity of roles and authorities, plus any secondary objectives
- Scenario selection: relevant threats and exposures prioritized from your cyber risk profile, such as a ransomware-driven silent breach
- Governance and response expectations: report tone and depth, facilitation notes, quick reference cards, and the report title
The agent confirms your choices at each step and is transparent about any assumptions it makes.
What you walk away with
- A full exercise report: executive summary, organizational context, scope, objectives, and a threat scenario overview
- A narrative, scenario, and timeline you can run with your participants and sponsors
- Quick reference cards for facilitators
- A clean path back to your profile: what you learn in the exercise can inform your profile downstream
