Smarter, Faster: The Future of Making Crisis Simulations with AI
Crisis simulations are essential for organizational preparedness, but creating your own scenarios has always been onerous and time-consuming. That’s why we’re so encouraged by the growing interest in our AI Scenario Generator, which makes this process faster, easier, and more efficient. This new feature enables you to develop and implement much more tailored, contextual content to strengthen your team’s crisis response skills.
How it works
Under the Crisis Sim section of the platform, simply head to Create Scenario > Create with AI to start generating your realistic, customizable scenario.
Then, you can choose your options for the sector, attack vector, threat actor, and more before publishing. It’s an effortless process that saves time and boosts efficiency.
Enhancing AI-generated scenarios
Once the scenario is generated, you’ll want to ensure it’s fully tailored to your organizational needs. Here’s how to get the most out of it:
- Check the formatting for clarity and readability.
- Tailor the roles and responsibilities to ensure each participant’s tasks are clearly defined.
- Add ranked response data to assess decision-making and prioritize improvements.
- Include response confidence metrics to measure how sure teams are about their actions.
- Enhance scenarios with rich media like images and videos for a more immersive experience.
The human review process
While the AI Scenario Generator does create scenarios quickly, it’s important to remember the value of the human review process. Admins should ensure the generated content meets your organization’s standards and objectives.
Review and adjust elements like text formatting and narrative content, and add performance indicators or response feedback to fine-tune the scenario. As with all things AI, only human oversight can ensure the exercise aligns with your real-world requirements.
AI settings and scenario sharing
Admins can control AI access to suit your organization’s needs. By enabling scenario sharing, the AI can access and learn from previous scenarios in your catalog, making the generated content even more relevant to your specific context.
If scenario sharing is disabled, the AI will generate more generalized content, which you can edit to suit your needs. These customizable options allow you to tailor the experience while maintaining control over sensitive data.
Security and compliance
Powered by OpenAI, the AI Scenario Generator is built with strict data security measures, ensuring compliance with NCSC and US-based processing guidelines. This means you can trust that your organization’s data is protected while creating effective, customized scenarios.
