Fire drills for IAM & encryption: how a technology company trains for the real thing
IAM & Encryption
security-critical areas in focus
Several simulations
run interactively & repeated
Multiple avatar roles
assigned for realistic scenarios
The starting point
An internationally operating technology company wanted to specifically strengthen its teams' ability to react in the security-critical areas of identity & access management (IAM) and encryption. Processes and playbooks existed, but whether they would hold in an emergency had never been tested under realistic conditions.
Security processes in IAM and encryption were documented but had never been played through under real pressure.
Classic exercise formats were complex to organise and tied up experts for days.
Theoretical training produced knowledge, but no confidence to act in an emergency.
Participants from different teams and roles had to be coordinated, from administration to management.
Without realistic simulation, it remained unclear where the actual weaknesses in workflows and communication lay.
In focus
IAMEncryptionCybersecurity processesThe approach with AI-VI
Together with the departments, we designed and ran several fire-drill simulations in the areas of IAM and encryption, playful, interactive and with advisory support from our experts.
Design scenarios
Realistic IAM and encryption scenarios, aligned with the company's workflows.
Assign avatar roles
Several AI avatar roles realistically portray the people involved, from IT security to management.
Simulate live
Participants interact directly with the avatars and make decisions in real time.
Advise throughout
Our experts moderate, set impulses and provide advisory support during the simulation.
Evaluate & repeat
Results are evaluated, measures derived and scenarios repeated at will.
The results
Security level raised
IAM and encryption workflows now hold, and the security level was noticeably increased.
Teams confident to act
Through the playful, interactive simulations, everyone involved knows what to do in an emergency.
Repeatable at will
Scenarios can be varied and run again, for a lasting training effect.
Before
- Processes documented but never tested under real pressure
- Security knowledge theoretical, rarely practised
- Exercises complex to organise, rarely repeated
With AI-VI
- Realistic, playful simulations with multiple AI avatar roles
- Experts advise throughout and evaluate every session
- Security level raised, scenarios repeatable at will
