Cybersecurity Training for the Real World
Your people do not need another awareness lecture. They need preparation for the cognitive compression that occurs when adversarial tactics create pressure, urgency, confusion, or fear.
Countervail delivers adversary-informed cybersecurity workshops, OSINT-driven tabletop exercises, incident response readiness sessions, and speaking engagements for organizations, associations, public utilities, municipal teams, nonprofits, professional groups, and leadership audiences that need practical preparation for digital threats.
Cybersecurity Workshops
Practical, scenario-driven workshops that teach participants how attackers exploit authority, timing, trust, exposed information, and routine business decisions.
Workshops cover a variety of topics and can be tailored to the institution’s top concerns. Sample topics include phishing and social engineering, payment diversion, vendor impersonation, account compromise, ransomware incident response, and communication under pressure.
OSINT-Driven Tabletop Exercises
Countervail designs tabletop exercises around realistic adversary behavior, organizational exposure, and the decision points attackers are most likely to exploit.
Exercises test first actions, escalation paths, decision authority, communications, evidence handling, legal and insurance handoffs, banking and law enforcement escalation, and executive or staff response under incomplete information.
Incident Response Readiness Sessions
Focused sessions for organizations that need to improve readiness before an incident occurs.
Countervail reviews how your team would respond to ransomware, fraud, account compromise, impersonation, or operational disruption and identifies where confusion, delay, unclear ownership, or weak escalation paths may create risk.
Speaking Engagements
Joanna Wiggum speaks to audiences ranging from large enterprise security forums and executive briefings to professional associations, civic organizations, community groups, and mission-driven audiences. Her talks examine the human side of cybersecurity: how adversaries build trust, exploit routine decisions, weaponize pressure, and turn ordinary information into fraud, account compromise, and cyber-enabled harm.
A former Microsoft Azure incident response leader, Starbucks red team builder, Oracle Cloud anti-abuse leader, Air Force veteran, and Washington State licensed private investigator, Joanna brings rare credibility across prevention, response, and investigation. Her presentations translate red-team methodology, OSINT, enterprise incident response, cybercrime investigation, and behavioral science into clear, memorable lessons audiences can use before a cyber incident, fraud attempt, or high-pressure decision point occurs.
Topics can be adapted for conferences, annual meetings, executive briefings, board education, professional association events, civic forums, community education, and mission-driven audiences.
