If you’re caught up on world news, you couldn’t have missed the recent cyber attacks on Marks and Spencer, Jaguar Land Rover and the European Airports. These attacks have yet again highlighted the fact that cyber attacks are no longer a distant possibility—they are an everyday reality. And they can strike when you least expect them!
From ransomware attacks to supply chain compromises, organisations of all sizes are being compromised. The looming question is: Will your business survive the stress test when attackers strike?
The only way to answer that question is with Cyber Tabletop Exercises and Cyber Drills. These drills, based on real-world cyber attack scenarios, test the capabilities of your business and your team to handle a real cybersecurity incident. They are a litmus test for the viability of your Cyber Incident Response plans and strategies.
By simulating real, relevant attack scenarios, you can judge whether your team is acquainted enough with your organisational plans and playbooks for disaster recovery. You’ll also be able to see if they know their individual roles and responsibilities in case of an attack.
These drills prepare your leadership, IT teams, and business units for the “what ifs” of cyber crime. Think of them as fire drills, but for cyber incidents—structured, scenario-based simulations that uncover gaps in your defences and strengthen your response muscle.
