The Payments Innovation Alliance’s Cybersecurity Response Project Team develops tools and resources to help organizations understand evolving threats related to potential cyberattacks. On October 12, 2023, the project team released a cybersecurity tabletop exercise to help small to medium-sized businesses prepare for a cyberattack. The exercise is being offered as part of the Alliance’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month efforts.

The kit includes the Tabletop Exercise Leader’s Guide for facilitators, which covers planning, conducting and evaluating the exercise and responses, providing a framework that can be adaptable to a variety of cybersecurity threats.
