The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) provides an ‘Exercise in a Box’ online tool that can help businesses check how resilient they are to cyber attacks as well as practise their response in a safe environment.
The tool will give you some exercises that can be carried out in your own time as many times as you want. The exercises include:
-A ransomware attack delivered by phishing email;
-Mobile phone theft and response;
-Being attacked from an unknown Wi-Fi network;
-Insider threat leading to a data breach;
-Third party software compromise;
-Threatened leak of sensitive data;
-Home & remote working; and
-Managing a vulnerability disclosure.
Micro-exercises are also included, covering areas like use of passwords and identifying and reporting a suspected phishing email.
To use ‘Exercise in a Box’ you need to register for an account with NCSC, and you’ll be provided with a tailored report that helps you to identify what to do next and sets out where you can find helpful guidance.

Most businesses don’t need big ideas or complicated plans to improve profit. In practice, profits will usually increase by tightening up a few everyday things and being more deliberate about how time and effort are applied.
