10 Reasons Cyber Range Simulation Is Vital to Incident Response

10 Reasons Cyber Range Simulation Is Vital to Incident Response

Are you really prepared to respond to a cyberattack? You don’t want to discover halfway through a data breach that your incident response (IR) playbook cracks under pressure. Just 23 percent of organizations have a consistently applied cybersecurity response plan, according to IBM Security and the Ponemon Institute’s recent “2019 Study on the Cyber Resilient Organization,” and even fewer firms know if their playbook can perform. What’s more, only 54 percent of organizations with an IR plan regularly test it.


Cyber range simulations help build preparedness by allowing organizations to stress-test an IR playbook in a real-world situation. Immersive training builds situational awareness in a way that’s very hard to replicate with tabletop exercises or classroom training. Simulation leads to on-the-ground experience and offers numerous benefits, including performance data, real-time expert feedback and cross-functional training.


10 Reasons to Visit the Cyber Range


Many security leaders don’t know how their team will perform under attack. You can’t predict whether or not your organization will be a target, but you can predict how you’ll respond if you’re prepared. After observing hundreds of teams on the front lines of an attack, Global X-Force IRIS lead Wendi Whitmore identified five characteristics of the best response teams:


Tactical skills
Dynamic technology
Threat intelligence
Comprehensive remediation
Real-world training

It’s simple: Your team needs to prepare to immediately respond to an attack and protect the enterprise. Simulation drills benefit both IR staff and enterprise preparedness, so build confidence in your IR capabilities by paying a visit to the cyber range.
