Is It a Drill or a Breach? The Midnight Alarm Test

Chicago Gate. Image text: Cyber Drill or Real Breach.

Picture the fire alarm at midnight.

One guard thinks it’s a drill, has a snack, and twenty minutes later half the wing is smoke-logged.

Swap flames for PHI and you’ve got our recent near miss: an after-hours alert brushed off as “probably a test,” triggering fines none of us budgeted for.

Block 45 minutes this week for a no-notice tabletop exercise.

Phones, pagers, personal email—see who shows up and how fast.

How do you make sure your team can tell a drill from the real thing?
