# Your Annual tabletop Exercise Is Already Outdated

Most organizations still run one tabletop exercise a year. The incidents they’ll actually face don’t wait a year. With AI raising the attack floor, notification deadlines as short as 30 minutes, and multiple incidents now hitting at once, the annual exercise has become a check-the-box exercise that doesn’t prepare teams for a real response.

In this episode of Resilient Cyber, BreachRx co-founder and Chief Product Officer Matt Hartley explains why AI-accelerated micro tabletops let teams train like they fight. He covers how to practice in the same platform you’ll use during a real incident, how to pressure-test DORA, SEC and global notification deadlines, and how to keep privileged conversations from spreading across dozens of Slack channels. He closes with a crawl-walk-run plan for running your first micro tabletop next month.
