Many incident response teams lack the real-world incident experience needed to confidently respond to attacks. This presentation demonstrates how to implement a weekly cyber drill program to build muscle memory and enhance incident response skills within your team. We will showcase how realistic scenarios, injected challenges, and post-drill analysis can cultivate practical expertise and improve incident response playbooks. A key focus will be how to leverage Large Language Models (LLMs) like Google Gemini and ChatGPT to accelerate and streamline the drill creation process. Attendees will learn how to design a weekly drill program, use AI to generate content, and drive improvements in their incident response process. Leave with ready to use drills, prompts and actionable knowledge that will help improve your teams capability and confidence. Targeted at incident response leaders and managers, but valuable for all team members.
