Description: Incident simulation is the process of recreating cybersecurity situations to assess and improve an organization’s response capabilities. This approach allows security teams to identify weaknesses in their protocols and procedures, as well as train personnel in crisis management. Through controlled scenarios, reactions to different types of attacks, from intrusions to infrastructure failures, can be analyzed. The simulation focuses not only on detection and response but also on internal and external communication, coordination among teams, and the effectiveness of security tools. This process is essential in an environment where threats are increasingly sophisticated and frequent, and the ability to respond quickly can make the difference between a manageable incident and a major crisis. Incident simulation is integrated into various security practices, such as Security Operations Centers (SOCs), cloud security management, and Zero Trust strategies, ensuring organizations are prepared to face the challenges of the current cybersecurity landscape.
