AI changed how you respond to incidents. Your tabletops haven’t caught up.
TL;DR
AI has transformed incident response by automating tasks like triaging alerts and drafting analyses, but tabletop exercises have not adapted to test these AI systems. Teams must now evaluate both human and AI performance during incident simulations to ensure effective responses.
✦ Why It Matters
Revise your tabletop exercises to include AI failure scenarios and ensure comprehensive incident readiness.
Key Takeaways
- Incorporate AI failure scenarios into tabletop exercises.
- Include AI system maintainers in incident response drills.
- Test manual skills to prevent reliance on AI.
- Evaluate trust levels in AI suggestions during debriefs.
How It Works
AI systems now assist in incident response by automating triage and document retrieval, which requires teams to adapt their tabletop exercises to test both human and AI performance. This involves creating scenarios where AI may fail, such as providing incorrect information or being unavailable during an incident.
