In today’s age, companies are always looking for the next, best, high-tech way to stay ahead of cyber criminals. Most of the time, this means increased budgets for improvements, such as artificially intelligent security tools, 24/7 systems monitoring and hardened perimeters. This isn’t a bad thing, of course, given the omnipresent cyber risk faced by organizations of all types and sizes, and the inevitability of security incidents.

However, with all that focus—and spending—on artificial intelligence, it’s sometimes easy to forget about the importance of developing actual intelligence—of humans, that is. Conducting regular table-top drills to test and expand the knowledge of incident responders and the strength of incident response plans doesn’t cost much, but it does wonders maximizing incident response efficiencies and minimizing confusion in the wake of an incident. And if those reasons were not convincing enough to conduct table-top drills, they also help ensure that an organization remains in compliance with potentially applicable law.
