Better Outcomes through Iteration with AutoTableTop™

When critical infrastructure like the Municipal Water Authority of Aliquippa (MWAA) faces a cybersecurity incident, the stakes are high. In our latest case study, we explore how ThreatGEN’s AutoTableTop™ incident response exercise simulator empowers teams to improve their incident response capabilities through iterative exercises. Over four sessions, participants tackled simulated attacks targeting a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) responsible for water pressure control.

The teams involved demonstrated measurable improvements in their strategies, from securing firewalls and implementing multi-factor authentication to enhancing public communication plans. By the third exercise, scores peaked at 95/100, showcasing significant progress in technical remediation, stakeholder communication, and overall preparedness. This iterative approach not only strengthened technical defenses but also fostered better integration of operational and cybersecurity responses.
