In this episode of Hack Dissection, Mike Lisi is joined by cyber operations expert Paul Marco for a deep dive into the true purpose—and power—of tabletop exercises. From crisis simulations that reveal communication breakdowns to the uncomfortable truths leaders often overlook, Paul shares real-world stories that highlight the human factor in cybersecurity.
You’ll hear why most organizations get tabletop exercises wrong, what really matters in the heat of a cyber crisis, and how to build muscle memory that actually holds up under pressure.
