MA2: Learning about Crisis Management in a Tabletop Exercise
Accessible: Yes
The workshop will consist of 3 parts:
- An introduction about crisis management and crisis exercises.
- A tabletop exercise
- A lessons learned session
We expect the participants to be people that normally would participate in a crisis team. For example managers, communications people and CSIRT people. The exercise doesn’t require deep technical knowledge: The most important part of our exercise is training and testing the participants' communication, information sharing and prioritization skills.
Taking part in a crisis management exercise allows the participants to practice both decision making and how they react in a stressful situation. It tests the crisis management organization and reveals the relevance of continuity plans. We also think that it increases the level of security awareness, which is needed due to a rising number of IT security attacks towards our infrastructure.
