When testing responses, defenses, and detections of an environment one of the main tools that can be used is a tabletop exercise. A tabletop exercise is a meeting of key stakeholders and staff who walk step by step through the mitigation of some type of disaster, malfunction, attack, or other emergency in a low stress situation. In this short training webinar, we walk through two basic exercises from beginning to end, covering what helpful structure, items, and activities should be included. We then follow up each exercise with an after action report to recap.
