Practice makes perfect...or at least better.
Cyber Incident Exercises (CIE), either Table-top or Live-play, are a vital component of any organisation’s cybersecurity strategy, enabling teams to rehearse their response to realistic threat scenarios in a controlled environment. These exercises test the effectiveness of incident response plans, improve coordination between technical and non-technical staff, and help identify weaknesses before a real incident occurs.
By simulating cyber attacks such as ransomware, data breaches, or phishing campaigns, organisations can refine their decision-making processes, clarify roles and responsibilities, and build confidence across all levels of the business. Regular CIEs not only enhance operational readiness but also demonstrate a proactive approach to cyber resilience, which is increasingly valued by regulators, insurers, and stakeholders alike.
