No organization is immune to data breaches, insider threats, and other cyber attacks. An unprepared organization can exacerbate the impact of these threats, leading to a loss of consumer trust and confidence. In this talk, I propose a radically new training method for preparedness that fuses together concepts like the Netflix “Chaos Monkey” with U.S. military “react to contact” drills. Your organization, from technicians to C-level executives, can immediately adopt this proposal to mitigate future threats and lessen the effect of successful attacks.
