Excyte
A structured platform for designing, delivering and reviewing cyber incident Table Top Exercises
Excyte helps organisations run credible cyber incident exercises without relying on complex manual processes, disconnected documents or inconsistent delivery methods.
It provides a structured, credible environment for facilitators to prepare exercise content, guide participants through a developing scenario, capture decisions and observations, and produce consistent post-exercise outputs.
Excyte is designed for organisations that want to exercise more regularly, improve the quality of facilitation and build a more sustainable internal exercising capability.
Make exercising easier to organise and deliver
Running a credible exercise often requires multiple documents, presentation tools, communication channels and manual reporting processes. Excyte brings the core elements of exercise delivery into one structured platform, helping facilitators maintain control while allowing participants to focus on the decisions they would need to make during a real incident. The platform supports:
- Structured scenario delivery
- Participant decision-making and collaboration
- Observation and evidence capture
- Repeatable delivery across teams and locations
- Controlled release of exercise content
- Facilitator-led exercise management
- Consistent reports and post-exercise outputs
Use proven exercises or build your own
Excyte supports organisations that want to begin with established exercise content, as well as those developing their own internal scenario portfolio.
- Use ready-to-deliver exercise scenarios created by experts
- Deliver exercises using trained internal facilitators
- Run repeatable exercises across multiple teams or locations
- Commission tailored scenarios from GDAK
- Develop and manage their own exercises
- Build a broader organisational exercising programme
