Table 2.

Simulation modes and scenarios

Mode	Function
Tabletop simulation	Evaluates procedural alignment, strategic decision-making and team coordination in a risk-free environment. Key artefacts include scenario playbooks, timed inject schedules, facilitator scripts and observation checklists
Live emulation	Tests technical detection, containment and eradication capabilities within isolated virtualised or cloud environments. Artefacts include virtual machines, Infrastructure-as-Code templates, seeded log data and adversary emulation scripts aligned with MITRE ATT&CK
