Simulations
Scenario: Phishing Attack
Simulation of a phishing attack and incident response:
- Simulate receipt of a suspicious email
- Participants analyze the email and its attachments
- Practice identification, containment, and eradication steps
- Assess the team's ability to respond effectively
Technical Challenges
Incorporate technical challenges into the simulation:
- Examine email headers and trace the source
- Isolate potentially compromised systems
- Investigate potential data exfiltration
Decision-Making
Require participants to make critical decisions during the simulation:
- Decide whether to block email addresses or domains
- Determine the scope and impact of the incident
Team Coordination
Test communication and coordination among team members:
- Coordinate with IT, security, legal, and communications teams
- Practice incident response roles and responsibilities
