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 donโ€™t have to be an expert to use it. The service provides exercises based around the main cyber threats, which your organisation can do in your own time, in a safe environment, as often as you want. It includes everything you need for setting up, planning, delivery, and post-exercise activity, all in one place.

The micro exercise session combines several fundamental aspects of cyber security with additional, broader cyber security learnings within a 90-minute session to ensure all organisations, regardless of their sector or level of cyber knowledge, can benefit.

The exercise is divided into four topics:

  1. Password security
  2.  Identifying and reporting phishing emails
  3.  Secure remote working
  4.  Responding to a ransomware attack

*Please note our current offering is for Public and Third sector organisations. Private sector organisations can book a session by emailing [email protected]
