Set the context by explaining the importance of incident response and its impact on the company and customers. - Briefly outline the workshop agenda and objectives. 2. **Exercise 1: Incident Identification and Reporting** - Present a simulated incident scenario (e.g., suspicious login attempts from multiple locations). - Participants work in small groups to identify signs of the incident, including potential indicators of compromise (IOCs). - Each group prepares a brief incident report summarizing their findings. 3. **Exercise 2: Incident Triage and Classification** - Introduce a different incident scenario (e.g., unusual traffic patterns suggesting a possible DDoS attack). - Groups triage the incident based on the severity, impact, and urgency of response required. - Discuss the factors that influenced their classification. 4. **Exercise 3: Incident Containment and Mitigation** - Provide a new scenario (e.g., a malware outbreak affecting a specific service). - Groups brainstorm and outline containment strategies to limit the incident's scope and mitigate its impact. - Discuss different approaches and their potential effectiveness. 5. **Exercise 4: Communication and Stakeholder Management** - Introduce a communication-focused scenario (e.g., a data breach affecting customer information). - Each group develops a communication plan, identifying key stakeholders, messaging, and channels. - Share and discuss the communication strategies. 6. **Exercise 5: Post-Incident Review and Learning** - Simulate the resolution of a previous exercise's incident. - Conduct a post-incident review with all participants to discuss the response process, what worked well, and areas for improvement. - Emphasize the importance of continuous learning and iterative improvement. **Wrap-up:** - Summarize the key takeaways from each exercise and the overall workshop. - Provide resources and references for further learning about incident response best practices. - Encourage participants to share their feedback and suggestions for enhancing the company's incident response capabilities. - Review the Incident Response Plans and make updates with the lessons learned from the exercises   - [Platform](https://knowledge.sensiba.com/platform?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Vanta](https://knowledge.sensiba.com/platform?hsLang=en#vanta) -
