From Plan to Practice: Strengthen Incident Response with Tabletop Exercises
When a cyber incident strikes, guesswork isn’t an option. Too often, organizations only discover weaknesses in their response plans after a breach – when downtime, trust, and revenue are already on the line.
Join us for a live webinar on November 4, 2025, at 10 AM ET: From Plan to Practice: Strengthen Incident Response with Tabletop Exercises, with Head Nerd, Lewis Pope.
You’ll learn how tabletop exercises take static plans and make them actionable – exposing hidden gaps, reducing risk, and preparing your teams to respond with confidence during any crisis.
What You’ll Learn:
Walk away with strategies you can use immediately, including how to:
- Run tabletop exercises to validate and strengthen response plans.
- Apply lessons learned to improve incident response playbooks.
- Build team confidence so responses are urgent, not panicked.
- Use tabletop exercises to reduce organizational risk and strengthen stakeholder trust.
Why Attend:
Organizations that master tabletop exercises don’t just reduce risk – they gain a clear operational advantage. Whether you’re an MSP proving value to clients or an internal IT leader safeguarding your company, tabletops demonstrate preparedness and build lasting trust.

Lewis started his career in the MSP channel, spending six years as a System Administrator, Manager of Service Delivery, and IR Lead with a break/fix operation that eventually matured to a full MSP. Lewis joined N‑able in 2018 as a Sales Engineer, and in 2021 became a member of the Head Nerds team.
As a Head Nerd at N‑able, Lewis is focused on cybersecurity, helping MSPs overcome security and operational challenges by providing education, training, and advocacy for implementation of practical security controls, proper risk management, and incident response. His primary goal is helping MSPs start the cybersecurity maturation process that is needed to contend with modern risks and the evolving threat landscape, as well as finding opportunities for growth.
In his downtime, you can find him hosting gameshows at sci-fi conventions, tinkering with microcontrollers that have way too many LEDs, or reading endless threat-intelligence feeds. He’s also very proud of his daughter, but if we got into all of the reasons for that we’d be here for quite a while.
