Explanation
A simulation test is a type of business continuity test that involves mimicking real-life scenarios to assess an organization's ability to respond to internal and external risks without affecting live operations. In this type of test, the organization doesn't actually disrupt normal operations but creates a simulated environment that reflects realistic disaster scenarios (e.g., cyberattacks, natural disasters, system failures) to test resilience. Resilience assessment: It tests how well an organization can react to different risks, including both internal (e.g., equipment failure, human error) and external threats (e.g., supply chain disruption, cyberattacks). Non-disruptive: The simulation does not impact ongoing, live operations but ensures that the continuity plans are adequate and that key processes can still function under simulated crisis
