A discussion-based rehearsal in which a team walks through its response to a simulated scenario to test plans and roles.
A tabletop exercise gathers the relevant people to talk through how they would respond to a realistic scenario, such as a ransomware outbreak or a site outage. It tests whether plans are clear, roles are understood, and decisions can be made, without disrupting live systems.
It is a low-cost, high-value way to find gaps in continuity and incident response plans before a real event reveals them.
