HelpNet Security, Monday, April 1st, 2024
Armed forces have always utilized war-gaming exercises for battlefield training to prepare for times of conflict. With today's digital transformation, the same concept is being applied in the form of cybersecurity exercises - tests and simulations based on plausible cyber-attack scenarios and incident response.
Cyber exercises press an organization's ability to detect, investigate, and respond to threats in a timely and secure manner. Well-designed cybersecurity exercises help organizations proactively identify and address vulnerabilities in their people, processes, and technology, mitigating the blow should a real-life incident occur.
