What type of test in disaster recovery procedures involves stakeholders gathering to simulate a disaster scenario to confirm the viability of the plan?
A tabletop exercise is a type of validation test where stakeholders gather to walk through and simulate the response to a disaster scenario based on the disaster recovery plan. This helps confirm the viability and effectiveness of the plan without activating the actual resources. Other options, such as penetration testing and functional testing, though important in other contexts, do not directly apply to simulating disaster scenarios in the context of disaster recovery validation.
