Cyber defense & resilience
Point Break Security helps organizations prepare for cyber incidents, detect them sooner and recover faster. We build incident-response plans and playbooks, run crisis exercises with leadership and technical teams, and test that detection, backups and recovery work before they are needed.
What's included
What we deliver in cyber defense & resilience.
Tabletop and crisis-simulation exercises
Realistic scenarios for leadership and technical teams, from first alert to recovery.
Detection engineering and SOC maturity
Detection coverage mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and a roadmap to close the gaps.
Ransomware readiness and recovery testing
Backup, restore and isolation measures, tested under realistic conditions.
Business continuity and cyber resilience
Continuity planning that accounts for cyber scenarios and third-party outages.
Post-incident reviews
Structured lessons learned that turn an incident into lasting improvements.
When to engage us
Typical situations
- You do not have an incident-response plan, or it has never been tested.
- Regulators or customers expect evidence of resilience testing.
- You want to know whether you would detect an attacker already inside.
- You have had an incident and want to prevent the next one.
What you receive
Deliverables
- Incident-response plan and playbooks
- Exercise scenarios and an after-action report
- Detection coverage assessment mapped to MITRE ATT&CK
- Recovery test results and an improvement roadmap

FAQ
Questions about cyber defense & resilience.
What is a tabletop exercise?
A tabletop exercise is a facilitated, discussion-based simulation of a cyber incident, such as a ransomware attack. Leadership and technical teams walk through their decisions step by step, revealing gaps in plans, roles and communication without any risk to live systems.
How can we prepare for a ransomware attack?
Key measures include offline or immutable backups that are regularly restore-tested, phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication, timely patching of internet-facing systems, network segmentation, a tested incident-response plan and clear decision-making authority in a crisis.
What does MITRE ATT&CK have to do with detection?
MITRE ATT&CK is a public knowledge base of attacker tactics and techniques. Mapping your detection rules to it shows which attacker behaviors you can see, and which you would miss.
