Exercise in a Box

Exercise in a Box is an online tool from the NCSC which helps organisations test and practise their response to a cyber attack. It is completely free and you don’t have to be an expert to use it. Over the past few years, it has made a big difference in introducing organisations to the basics of cyber exercising. By combining threat intel and knowledge of the threat landscape, NCSC has created a tool that allows organisations of all sizes to engage with their cyber security knowledge, and practice responses to some of the biggest threats facing us today. 

In this episode we take a deep dive into Exercise in a Box, tracing its origins with guest speaker Steve O., from NCSC. Steve talks about its core purpose, how it's grown and plans for its future. Also joining us on this episode is Norman Stevenson from Police Scotland. Norman has joined many sessions and has both partaken as a user and contributed to other groups adding info from a Policing perspective. Finally, to bring it all together we look at what is involved in joining one of the Scottish Business Resilience Centre's facilitated sessions. 

If you're not sure what Exercise in a Box is, or how it applies to your organisation, this episode will shed light on all your questions.

Our host for this episode is Jeremy Aylott, Lead Ethical Hacker at the Scottish Business Resilience Centre. Jeremy has been involved with countless Exercise in a Box sessions and has seen its benefits first hand.
