The Value of a Tabletop Exercise

Performing a Tabletop Exercise or a “practice” of your incident response plan is an essential part of preparing for a cybersecurity incident. These exercises enable you to identify what’s most important to your business during a breach, define roles and responsibilities, and determine the resilience of your business in a safe environment.

Just as altitude training builds an athlete’s ability to maintain cognitive function under oxygen debt, tabletop exercises build your organization’s capacity to think clearly during cyber incidents. This goes beyond having an incident response plan: it’s about creating the neurological pathways that enable clear thinking, effective communication, and strategic decision-making when under extreme pressure.

The most effective tabletop exercises mirror altitude training principles: learn more here.
