Summary/Abstract: In the context of intensifying cyber threats, resilience in cyberspace has become a strategic priority for organizations, governments, and international alliances. Cyber scenarios, in their various forms, provide a controlled framework in which response capabilities to cybersecurity incidents can be tested, trained, and validated. The purpose of this paper is to analyze how these scenarios contribute to the development of an organizational culture of resilience, enabling the identification of vulnerabilities, the strengthening of decision-making processes under pressure, and proactive adaptation to new types of threats. The study explores current practices adopted at the European and international levels, highlighting how scenario-based exercises support strategic planning, the training of technical and operational teams, and inter-institutional cooperation. It also examines the direct benefits for organizational flexibility and post-incident recovery capacity. Finally, the article formulates a series of recommendations regarding the integration of scenarios into the cycle of cyber risk management, emphasizing their value not only as training tools but also as fundamental elements in the security architecture of a modern organization.
