Tabletop exercises are vital for implementing a robust CIR (cyber incident response) plan within your organisation. These simulations train your team to respond to real cyber incidents swiftly and effectively by identifying vulnerabilities and weaknesses in your defences.
They foster collaboration among departments, ensuring everyone is prepared and aligned in their roles. By refining response strategies and addressing gaps, tabletop exercises boost your organisation’s resilience against cyber attacks.
