A CISO was in the hot seat. The cameras were rolling. 🎬 Vanta just dropped episode 3 of The Tabletop, a series built for security leaders who want to learn from their peers. The Tabletop is a show where Vanta puts top CISOs in a live tabletop exercise and ask them to show their work in real time. No prep, no playbooks. Just a scenario, a clock, and decisions that don't have clean answers. Episode 3 drops Sean Cassidy, CISO at Plaid, into the following scenario:

Your floor operator calls. Their mouse just moved...on its own. What do you do in the next 10 minutes?

In this episode, he's playing CISO at a fictional 10,000-person utility. We throw three escalating injects at him in real time: a second and third compromised workstation, a vendor account nobody deprovisioned in four years, and a name that surfaces late; a former employee whose credential still works. Watch episode 3 ___ I want your input on future scenarios. Got an incident type you'd like to see a top CISO navigate? Submit your ideas here.
