Ready for the Breach: Cyber Incident Exercising Explained
In this episode of The Cyber Hot Seat, host Anish Chauhan sits down with Jonathan Ellwood, Head of Cyber Incident Exercising and Response at IASME. Together, they break down what it really means to be ready when a cyber incident hits.
Jonathan explains the NCSC’s Cyber Incident Exercising Standard by outlining what it is, why it matters, and how small and mid-sized businesses can use it to prepare. He shares why a plan on paper isn’t enough, and how running exercises turns theory into action.
From quick tabletop sessions to realistic live-play simulations, the pair explore how testing your response builds confidence, improves teamwork, and exposes blind spots before attackers do. They also tackle common mistakes, from overcomplicating exercises to forgetting to follow up on lessons learned.
