Sun Tzu's 13 lessons to combat hackers

"If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

To know our capability to resist attack and how prepared we are we test ourselves by rehearsing an incident-response plan.

We begin with workshops for key stakeholders to walk them through worst-case scenarios. 

It gives them the chance to assess their recovery capabilities and how well they work with each other.

We can tweak the plan then move to a simulation, which executes a disaster scenario.

The team now identifies key outcomes and deficiencies to update the plan.  And we do this periodically or after significant changes to our IT environment.
