An incident response plan that has never been rehearsed is an assumption, not a capability. Tabletop exercises let a team test its plan on paper: a facilitator presents a scenario, and participants work through decisions, handoffs, and communication as the situation develops. The format is low-cost, low-risk, and well suited to small and medium-sized businesses […]
