During a quarterly incident-response preparedness workshop, the CSIRT manager wants to verify that every stakeholder-from SOC analysts to legal counsel-can articulate and perform their assigned actions when an event escalates to a security incident. Which training method would BEST achieve this goal?
Facilitate a tabletop exercise that walks the team through a simulated incident scenario.
Deliver a slide-based lecture on the incident response plan.
Facilitating a tabletop exercise walks participants through a realistic scenario so they must discuss, decide on, and execute the tasks defined in the incident-response plan. This interactive rehearsal clarifies responsibilities, exposes gaps, and reinforces muscle-memory far more effectively than passive lectures, handbooks, or self-paced e-learning alone.
