Choose Your Own TTX: Redefining the Incident Response Table Top Exercise

Presented at DerbyCon 9.0 Finish Line (2019), Sept. 7, 2019, 2:30 p.m. (30 minutes).

Tired of your everyday, boring, linear table top exercises? Do you feel your scenarios lack creativity? Are they missing real-world rewards and consequences? Come hear our approach on how we follow industry best practice with a choose your own adventure style twist. We will cover the people involved, our scenario creation process, and technologies that were used. The decisions made during the exercise dictated if a real-world reward or consequence was given. These decisions had an active impact on the remainder of the exercise. The scenario focused on situations that have happened in past incidents as well as incidents that have occurred within the larger Information Industry. We will share all of the key ingredients and lessons learned so you can plan your next table top exercise.
