Designing Comprehensive Tabletop Exercises for AI and Cybersecurity Threats

Beyond the CIO: Building Inclusive Tabletop Exercises That Prepare Your Entire Organization

All of these cybersecurity threats—particularly emerging AI-based attacks—have led me to the topic I really want to talk about today. I am struggling with how to write a comprehensive TTX for an AI like OpenClaw, which can apparently be easily used to create dangerous system attacks, phishing expeditions, and just about anything a nefarious cracker can think of! In the discussion in Krebs on Security’s March 8 article about OpenClaw:

“A recent supply chain attack targeting an AI coding assistant called Cline began with one such prompt injection attack, resulting in thousands of systems having a rogue instance of OpenClaw with full system access installed on their device without consent.”

This is the moment when business continuity professionals need to ask themselves a hard question: Are your tabletop exercises actually preparing your organization for this reality?
