Organizations Revise Tabletop Exercises For AI Threats
Security leaders including Palo Alto Networks, Google Cloud, and Microsoft told The Register in December 2025 that tabletop exercises must now simulate AI-accelerated attacks, deepfakes, prompt injection, and rapid CVE exploitation occurring within minutes. Experts cited examples such as exploits observed within five minutes and SOCs processing 90 billion daily events reduced to 26,000 correlations, recommending semiannual AI-informed drills and out-of-band verification protocols.
Key Points
- 1Attackers exploit published CVEs within minutes using AI-accelerated scanning and automated exploit tools
- 2AI increases attack scale and speed, producing thousands of events but few require human triage
- 3Run semiannual, AI-informed tabletops testing deepfakes, prompt-injection, out-of-band verifications, and offline recovery
Scoring Rationale
Timely, actionable guidance with authoritative sources; limited novelty beyond applying known AI threats to tabletop practices.
