Welcome to Barclay Damon Live: Cyber Sip™ episode 36. Host Kevin Szczepanski talks with Kyle Cavalieri, president of Avalon Cyber, about tabletop exercises. (No sit-ups involved.) Kevin and Kyle define the practice as a moderated exercise that tests an organization's ability to respond to a cyberattack. It’s helpful to evaluate incident-response plans; to gain clarity around stakeholders’ awareness of their roles, responsibilities, and communication; and to learn where its response program may have budget gaps. That’s some of the “whys” of companies conducting such exercises (which should minimally be held annually). They also get to the “who” and the “how.” Listen in for more on this hot topic.
