"The idea of chaos engineering is essentially to help test resilience before an accident happens," says Itzik Kotler, co-founder and CTO of SafeBreach.
Kotler joins Matthew Dobbs, Chief Integration Architect for the IBM Security Command Center, for a conversation about the value of testing systems and people through "dynamic but controlled chaos." They discuss training for the shifting adversary landscape and TTPs, who benefits from chaos engineering training, and what makes for a good simulation experience.

“Every cloud conversation should be also a security conversation,” says Anna Van Wassenaer, Cloud Business Development Leader, Europe, for IBM Security Services.
What are the top findings from the Cost of a Data Breach Report 2020? Charles DeBeck, a cyber threat intelligence expert with IBM X‑Force IRIS, talks about what drives costs higher for some organizations. "We observed a growing divide between organizations that were well prepared and organizations that weren't," DeBeck says.
The threat landscape has changed as a result of the global pandemic. What does that mean for organizations and their employees? How can leaders "manage through chaos" successfully? Hosts Pam Cobb and David Moulton reflect on these questions by drawing on insights from speakers at IBM Think Digital 2020.
As digital transformation accelerates, so does the importance of verification. "I think it's become more important right now to ensure the right person has access to the right data and apps at the right time under the right circumstances," says Aarti Borkar, Vice President, OM, for IBM Security. "And to me that's Zero Trust."
"APT groups jump at the chance to take advantage of people's emotions," says Ryan Castillo, an analyst on the threat hunt and discovery team within IBM X‑Force IRIS. One such advanced persistent threat (APT) group has recently been detected mining the "treasure trove of COVID-19 lures" activated by overall uncertainty and misinformation in the face of the global pandemic.
