GroupSense Launches New, Standalone Executive Tabletop Exercise Service, Helping Organizations Mitigate Ransomware Risks

Company's Customized Ransomware Tabletop (TTX) Service Improves Security Posture, Enhances Incident Response, and Ensures Swift and Efficient Action in Response to Attacks

ARLINGTON, Va., April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GroupSense, a digital risk protection services company, today announced the immediate availability of its new Ransomware Executive Tabletop Exercise (TTX) Service. Drawing from first-hand experience in successfully negotiating hundreds of high-profile ransomware cases, the customized service is designed to improve an organization's security posture, enhance incident response, and ensure the responding team can act quickly and effectively during a ransomware attack.

The TTX is an interactive simulation where an organization's response team confronts real-world ransomware scenarios and makes critical decisions to test and strengthen its response strategies. The goal of the TTX isn't just practice – it's to identify weaknesses in an organization's security strategy, improve response times and foster collaboration across departments. This approach is especially critical for large-scale organizations, where communication breakdowns can amplify the impact of a cyberattack.

GroupSense's TTX service is based on proven strategies from real-world ransomware engagements, including direct threat actor negotiations and industry best practices. The methodology for the service is proven, actionable and resilient, and uses the following three steps:

1. Planning and Customization – GroupSense's trained ransomware negotiators take the time to understand an organization's unique risks and objectives, designing scenarios tailored to their specific needs.
2. Realistic Simulations – GroupSense simulates the pressure and complexity of a real cyberattack to ensure an organization's team responses are thoroughly tested.
3. Debrief and Continuous Improvement – Post-exercise, the company provides a detailed debrief with clear recommendations to improve the team's preparedness.

"Ransomware attacks are becoming so commonplace that it's not a matter of if an organization is going to get attacked, it's when," said GroupSense CEO Kurtis Minder. "Our tabletop exercise service delivers actionable intelligence and cutting-edge insights that help leadership, including CISOs, security teams, crisis management teams as well as compliance and risk managers, sharpen incident response, minimize downtime, protect critical assets and overall, strengthen their organizations' defense against evolving threats."
