MP3•Episode home

What happens when your carefully crafted incident response playbook becomes worthless? Cody Sullivan from OpsBook reveals the brutal truth about tabletop exercises: most organizations are practicing with medieval armor for a drone war. From 70-participant, 6-hour exercises spanning three continents to the harsh reality of insider threats, this conversation exposes the gaps that could leave your organization bleeding when the real attack comes.

Key Topics Covered:

Why "tribal knowledge" is your organization's biggest security risk
The insider threat scenario that makes every tabletop exercise go sideways
How AI is revolutionizing incident response preparation through OpsBook's ontology
Why your playbooks are useless if hackers have them too
The "Derek Jeter approach" to cybersecurity preparedness
From real estate to tech: spotting warning signs before the industry shift

The crew shares fresh insights from a recent school district tabletop that exposed critical single points of failure, while Cody demonstrates how modern organizations are turning decision-making into muscle memory, not just memos. This isn't theory—it's the frontlines of organizational resilience where one overlooked vulnerability could trigger catastrophic failure.
