Disaster Planning: Running Effective Cyber Event Tabletop Exercises

Tabletop exercises are an essential tool in Business Resilience and Continuity (BRC) practices. In a tabletop exercise, no one passes or fails; everyone who participates learns what needs to be improved and how the improvements. BRC Plan exercises ensure that cross-functional teams are familiar with their assignments and, more importantly, are confident in their capabilities.

In this session of The Privacy & Compliance Collective, you will learn how to prepare and facilitate a successful BRC tabletop exercise, from selecting scenarios and injects to encouraging (or requiring!) participation from stakeholders, providing enough structure for cross-functional teams to work together without giving away the answers, and developing useful feedback and remediations to existing DR processes.
