1×/year How often most banks run tabletop exercises. Opsbook makes it continuous.

Scenarios and threats you can’t ignore

Role-based exercises tailored to high-impact situations common in financial services.

Ransomware / Core Banking System Outage

Test cross-functional response when critical banking systems go down — IT, operations, communications, and legal working in parallel.

Wire Fraud / Business Email Compromise

Validate detection, escalation, and recovery workflows when BEC triggers unauthorized wire transfers.

Third-Party ICT Provider Failure

Exercise your response when a critical technology vendor goes down — a DORA-required scenario category.

Data Breach / Regulatory Notification

Practice time-bound decisions for incident classification, customer comms, and regulator notification.

Cloud Outage / Payment Rail Disruption

Simulate downstream impacts when payment processing or cloud dependencies fail during peak volume windows.

Insider Threat / Privileged Access Misuse

Run cross-functional response across security, HR, legal, and IT to contain and remediate access abuse.

How it works

Step 01

AI builds your scenario in minutes

Describe your threat and your environment. Opsbook generates a realistic, customized scenario with injects, roles, and objectives — no PowerPoint required.

Step 02

Run a live, structured exercise

Participants join with defined roles. Decisions and actions are captured in real time. Facilitators can add injects to escalate pressure and surface gaps.

Step 03

AARs and playbook updates — automatically

Opsbook generates the after-action report, assigns action items with owners and deadlines, and triggers playbook updates. Evidence exports directly to your GRC or auditor.

Integrations and evidence exports

Connect your security and GRC stack to streamline exercise evidence, AARs, and action tracking.
