Your organization is reviewing the incident response plan to ensure readiness for potential security incidents. You are tasked with ensuring that the response team has the necessary knowledge to adhere to the plan under stress. Which of the following activities is BEST suited to accomplish this?
Performing annual audits of the incident response plan documentation.
Conducting a tabletop exercise involving hypothetical scenarios.
Deploying a new intrusion detection system across the network.
Scheduling quarterly software updates for security tools.
Tabletop exercises are designed to simulate a security incident in a low-stress environment, allowing the response team to walk through the incident response plan and discuss their actions in a hypothetical scenario. This hands-on practice helps team members to become familiar with their roles and responsibilities during an incident without the pressure of a real-life event, making it an effective way to prepare for actual incidents.
