Benefits of Cyber Incident Response Testing

Cyber Security is a business problem, not just an IT problem and the involvement of leadership teams in both response and proactive learning is critical to minimise the impact of cyber related incidents.

Are your teams able to identify a potential threat? Do they know when they need to call for additional help? Do your business leaders know their role within an Incident Response process?

Scenario exercises are a practical way for organisations to test their Incident Response Plans in a safe environment and educate staff on cyber security in the event of a security incident and/or data beach.

With our Incident Response Exercises, we stress test your cyber response with safe theoretical tabletop exercises with a focus on utilising your plans to bring your business operations back to business as-usual.

Incident response exercises allow you to rehearse difficult situations and identify improvements, enabling your teams to react as efficiently as possible should a real-life incident occur. This testing helps to eliminate panic and confusion and allows teams to make decisions in a more calm and structured way.

We’re about to release our new fixed-price packages for our Cyber Incident Response Exercises with simplified pricing. If you would like to learn more, you can contact a member of the team here.

Benefits of Incident Response Testing are;

• Test the cohesiveness of your security teams and your leadership team
• Testing processes and plans helps build confidence in real life situations
• Test your internal communications and points of escalation
• Identify any operational gaps
• Identify gaps in your plans and documentation
• Greater clarity across the business
• Identify and discuss key business decisions that will need to be made (eg) payment of ransoms.

Each exercise is delivered by our qualified and experienced consultants, either onsite or remotely. Each exercise workshop takes typically 2-4 hours.
