Train your leadership team to respond effectively when ransomware hits your supply chain
Corporate executives outside IT face cascading ransomware costs from supply chain disruptions, surging insurance premiums, and recovery expenses that ultimately raise consumer prices.
RansomReady offers interactive simulation scenarios designed specifically for C-suite executives and risk managers. Users practice making critical decisions in ransomware events, learn optimal communication strategies, and build muscle memory that reduces actual recovery costs and timelines when real incidents occur.

Build critical decision-making skills with realistic simulations designed for C-level leaders and risk managers.
Offer free pilot programs to 10 companies via warm intros from professional networks (former colleagues, alumni groups). Target companies that recently had near-miss incidents or paid high ransoms. Provide complimentary 'executive tabletop exercise' workshops that end with a demonstration of the platform.
Excellent security awareness training
Focused on employees, not C-suite decision making simulations
Targets the exact pain point of executive response which has highest impact on total costs
Sophisticated attack simulations
Primarily technical SOC training, not business leader focused
Built exclusively for non-technical executives with business impact focus
Enterprise-grade cyber ranges
Requires significant setup and is too technical for C-suite
Self-service, immediately usable by executives with zero technical setup
Library of proprietary scenarios based on anonymized real ransomware cases. Network effects as companies in same industry can benchmark readiness scores anonymously.
With the rise of board-level accountability for cyber incidents (SEC rules) and increasing frequency of supply chain ransomware, executives need practical experience that traditional annual training doesn't provide.
Simulations may not feel realistic enough to engage executives
Base all scenarios on actual anonymized cases. Use high quality UI/UX and real executive video clips.
Companies may prefer in-person facilitated sessions
Market the convenience, repeatability, and lower cost of digital simulations that can be run monthly.
Content creation takes more time than expected
