What is a Tabletop Exercise?

What is a tabletop exercise?

A tabletop exercise is an opportunity for your organization to practice what happens in the event of an incident. The most common tabletop exercises are incident response and disaster recovery.

This is where people within your organization can work in a simulated environment to resolve a problem using the process and procedures that you should have in place. The goal is that when an actual event happens, they are well prepared.

If you don't know what to do, you're going to waste valuable time that could allow the threat actors to continue to gain initial access, exfiltrate data, or cause additional harm.

It's the same reason why we did fire drills and tornado drills. It so, when bad situations happen, everyone who has a role to play knows what to do and is ready to execute their responsibilities.
