Live Fire Exercise
The CrowdStrike® Live Fire Exercise builds your cybersecurity readiness by guiding your organization through an immersive simulation of a sophisticated and advanced targeted attack. The exercise helps prepare your organization by reducing your reaction time to real-world attacks with well-orchestrated, rehearsed processes.
The Challenge
It is vitally important for an organization to prepare and train for potential cyber incidents or attacks. Organizations need to prepare and train for potential cyber incidents and attacks, adding realism to the simulation of a realistic targeted attack scenario.
Tailored to Your Needs and Resources
To be effective, an exercise needs to be based on the strengths and weaknesses of your defensive posture. A scenario with the appropriate levels of difficulty and complexity will be created to give you the most accurate assessment of your team’s response.
Experienced, Not Just Discussed
The Live Fire Exercise goes beyond tabletop discussions by pressing participants to take action in a fully immersive experience that focuses on using real tools and capabilities in responding to a cyber incident.
Reality-based
CrowdStrike strives to make the Live Fire Exercise as realistic as possible by featuring a series of injects that simulate real-world inputs, including security tool alerts, media inquiries and customer interactions that probe and test investigation, communication and coordination capabilities. The goal is not only to test your team but each individual on it.
