Tabletop exercises provide valuable insight into your organization's security posture and procedures to respond to an event in your environment. Whether you are holding an exercise to satisfy compliance requirements or to test your personnel's ability to respond to an incident, it needs to be engaging to help provide takeaways. You can elevate your tabletop exercise experience by implementing some techniques and systems used commonly within the realm of tabletop role-playing games such as Dungeons and Dragons to help add new ways to engage your audience and to transform the tabletop exercise from being just another briefing to an experience that will increase engagement and better facilitate discussion which will in turn provide better results to help sharpen your organization's posture.
