INCIDENT RESPONSE EXERCISE
24/7 support to help manage and improve your organisation’s response to security incidents
OVERVIEW
What Are Incident Response Exercises?
Cyber incident response exercises are a safe way to conduct attack simulation drills. One of the objectives is to put key stakeholders in an environment of intense pressure. They are forced to think and act like they would when under a real cyber attack.
Conducting regular security incident response tabletop exercises is the only non-destructive way to prepare your organisation for ransomware or other types of cyber attacks. Given the new ‘normal’ brought on by the pandemic, it’s even more critical to make cyber incident response exercises a mandatory and repeating drill. Just having an incident response team to deal with cyber threats is not adequate anymore. Cyber-attack simulation exercises are vital to the well-being of any business today.
