Delivery and commitment

  • downloadable resource: CISA lists scenario manuals as resource materials.
  • Commitment: CISA does not state a standard completion time for scenario materials.

Outcomes and limits

Outcome type

knowledge only

The materials support consideration of cybersecurity threat scenarios.

Does not mean: Downloading or discussing a scenario is not a certification or proof of cyber readiness.

Pathway and purpose relationships

  1. Use a scenario as a starting point for a tabletop exercise suited to a participating organization.
  • Explore & Be Ready: Changes the incident under consideration from physical preparedness to cyber threats.

Evidence beside this record

Official source links open a government website in a new tab and leave this World.

CISA's general Services page identifies CTEPs as no-cost services for all organizations, and its Cybersecurity Scenarios page identifies downloadable cybersecurity scenarios as CTEPs covering ransomware, insider threats, phishing, and industrial-control-system compromise.

Limit: Scenario materials support discussion and practice; CISA's no-charge statement supports the downloadable resource, not facilitated training or exercise implementation.

What that does not establish: Downloading a scenario does not by itself establish an organization's cyber readiness.

Context: Threat scenarios and relevant safeguards vary by sector and local operating context.
