Micro Tabletops: The Future of Cyber Incident Preparedness

Annual tabletop exercises can't keep pace with emerging threats and regulations like NIS2 and DORA. This session makes the case for micro tabletops: short, frequent exercises that build sharper muscle memory and extend readiness practice beyond the security team to legal, comms, and execs

About this session

Most organisations still treat incident response readiness as an annual event: one large tabletop exercise, months in the planning, tested once, and then left to gather dust. But threats move faster than that cadence allows, and regulations like NIS2 and DORA now expect evidence of ongoing preparedness, not a single yearly checkbox.

This shifting landscape makes the case for micro tabletops: short, frequent, scenario-specific exercises that fit into a team’s existing workflow rather than clearing a full day on the calendar. We’ll cover how running smaller exercises more often builds sharper muscle memory, extends practice beyond the security team to legal, communications, and executive stakeholders, and gives organisations a continuously current view of where their response plans actually hold up and where they don’t.
