How Do Your Cyberattack Response Skills Stack Up? Take Our Quiz to Find Out

Explore these realistic scenarios, then decide what you would do.

Being the chief of data security for an American business is a stressful job. It’s not easy keeping your organization safe against constantly evolving threats, now aided by artificial intelligence.

So, this Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we thought it would be useful to prepare a short quiz so you can see how you stack up against your peers when it comes to responding to breaches. Below, we describe five common scenarios indicating potential (but not certain) data breaches within your organization, and four possible actions you might take in response to each.

Here’s a hint: Each of the responses is, in fact, an action that you should take, under the circumstances. Your job is to place the actions in the correct chronological order in which you should take them, according to the cybersecurity experts at CDW. Individual circumstances vary, so while there’s generally a best-practice approach, your answers may differ from what our experts say — and that’s OK.

After submitting your answers, you’ll see how you compare to your peers.
