Making tabletop exercises better! – Ryan Fried – ESW #332

Today, we'll talk to InfoSec DM and practitioner extraordinaire Ryan Fried about some of the key elements that separate a good cybersecurity tabletop exercise from a bad one! This is literally his day job at Mandiant, and it doesn't hurt to have one of the world's largest libraries of attacker TTPs and the collective lessons learned from thousands of actual incident response experiences.
