An incident response tabletop scenario is an exercise where security teams discuss, in a classroom-type setting, their roles in response to an emergency. This discussion is usually conducted by a trained facilitator who guides the team through multiple scenarios and determines their readiness or potential gaps in their response process.
Although no one hopes for disasters, they are usually inevitable. So, it’s always beneficial to prepare ahead for them. Organizations are not immune to disasters, and data breach is a disaster that could cripple the information system of business organizations that don’t implement proper data breach tabletop exercises. In recent times, cyberattacks have been on the rise and data breaches, an outcome of these attacks, are becoming more frequent.
