Incident Response Exercises

Cloud Platform regularly runs incident response exercises to test the team’s ability to respond to incidents effectively. These exercises help ensure that the team is prepared for real-world scenarios and can handle incidents in a timely and efficient manner.

Running an Incident Response Exercise

Incident response exercises are run with the aid of the Panda Cyber team. To book in an exercise contact Panda Cyber via their Slack channel #ask-panda-cyber.

Frequency

Incident response exercises are run at least annually. When this document comes up for review, the Cloud Platform team will check that an incident response exercise has been run in the last 12 months, if not a new exercise will be scheduled.

Location of Exercise Reviews

Exercise reviews and recommendations are stored in the Cloud Platform team Security folder.

Exercise Scenarios

The scenarios for incident response exercises are designed by the Panda Cyber team to simulate real-world incidents that the Cloud Platform team may encounter. These scenarios can include, but are not limited to: - Leaked credentials - Phishing attacks - DDos attacks - Service outages - Data loss incidents - Security breaches
