Where do their published facts differ?
Hands-on keyboard work: Cytactic Not in our sources, Reflex Security Partly
Cytactic: Not in our sources.
Reflex: Technical players can run plain-English queries against simulated logs, endpoint telemetry and network traffic in an Investigation Console; there is no lab library or range.
Executives and non-technical roles take part: Cytactic Partly, Reflex Security Matches
Cytactic: Generated exercises include stakeholder discussions, with crisis communication and legal disclosure agents in the platform; an exercise format for executives or the board is not described.
Reflex: Built for technical, legal and executive teams; AI agents fill absent seats, including the CEO.
Built around your own environment or tools: Cytactic Partly, Reflex Security Matches
Cytactic: Scenarios are built from the organisation's profile and data.
Reflex: Reflex states it builds the crisis from your real environment; org context listed as AWS, GitHub, Cloudflare and six more.
Sessions of an hour or less: Cytactic Not in our sources, Reflex Security Matches
Cytactic: Not in our sources.
Reflex: "Sixty minutes, your real environment, no slides."

How do their strengths and limits compare?
Strengths
- A ready library of five crisis simulations plus a generator that drafts new ones from the organisation's profile.
- Simulation artefacts such as ransom notes, breaking news and system data appear automatically.
- Sits next to playbooks, crisis communication and legal disclosure tools.
Limits
- Not a lab platform or a cyber range: no hands-on technical environment is described.
- No published price, and board formats and measurement are not described on the pages we read.
Strengths
- Builds the crisis from your own environment and runs an unscripted adversary that reacts to each decision.
- Puts technical, legal and executive teams in one exercise, with AI agents in the seats nobody fills, including the CEO's.
- Short to run: sixty-minute sessions, an AI facilitator in Zoom, Meet or Teams, and an after-action report in which each finding points to the moment it came from.
Limits
- Not a hands-on lab platform or a cyber range: technical players can query simulated logs in its Investigation Console, but there is no lab library and no live-fire range.
- No published price and no free tier.
- Not awareness training: it exercises the response team, not every employee.
Which one fits which team?
Look at Cytactic if you want tabletop practice next to your playbooks and disclosure tools, or if you want ready-made crisis scenarios to start from. Look at Reflex if you want to replace the annual scripted tabletop with exercises the response team can run often, or if your gap is decisions and coordination across security, legal and leadership.

Questions people ask
Is Cytactic or Reflex Security cheaper?
Neither publishes a price on the pages we read. Ask both for a quote for the same scope.
Do Cytactic and Reflex Security sell the same kind of training?
They both sell tabletop and crisis simulation.
Can I compare several platforms at once?
Yes. The platform fact grid puts up to twelve side by side, and you can pick which ones.

- Cytactic profile
A cyber incident response management hub with a simulation generator: five ready-made crisis simulations and an AI engine that builds new ones from the organisation's profile, run in a Simulation Mode inside the platform.
- Reflex Security profile
A crisis simulation that replaces the scripted tabletop: it builds a live crisis from your real environment, runs an adaptive adversary and pressured stakeholders, and produces an after-action report.
- Tabletop and crisis simulation
The people who own decisions in an incident work through a scenario and decide what to do, from a scripted discussion to an adaptive simulation.
