Tabletop exercises are simulated, interactive sessions where team members discuss and role-play their responses to various security incidents. These exercises help the incident response team practice and refine their incident response plans, communication strategies, and decision-making processes in a controlled environment. Tabletop exercises are valuable for preparing teams to handle a range of information security scenarios without the actual impact or disruption that may occur during live incidents. While options like forensics certification (option B), penetration tests (option C), and disaster recovery drills (option D) are important for specific aspects of information security, tabletop exercises offer a holistic approach to testing and improving the overall incident response capabilities of a team.

I choose A as answer but I think DRP drill is more correct because an incident response plan is part of a DRP. DRP drills will definitely prepare for likely scenarios.

Selected Answer: A
Tabletop exercises are discussion-based and evaluate the effectiveness of an organization's plans, policies, and procedures in a hypothetical scenario. Disaster recovery drills are hands-on and involve testing actual recovery procedures to ensure they can be executed successfully in a real-world scenario.

So you're saying that theoretical discussion (tabletop) prepares the team better than a practical test (DR drill)? :)

I think it's D. Running through an actual scenario is more effective than discussing about it.

Disaster recovery drills are real simulations. Table top is just a discussion. D in my opinion.
