Annual tabletop exercises are insufficient against modern adversaries like Scattered Spider and AI-powered threats. The military model — continuous live simulations, red/blue team drills, clear command structures, and post-incident retrospectives — should be adopted by corporations. 'AI Proving Grounds' are proposed as realistic environments where human operators and AI agents can train together under real adversarial pressure. Key recommendations include shifting from breach-prevention to detect-contain-recover mindset, pre-assigning decision makers, participating in threat intel sharing (ISACs, CERTs), and building a culture of continuous improvement from simulated incidents. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
