IL4 High
IL5
IL6

>Control Description

Provide an incident response training environment using organization-defined automated mechanisms.

>DoD Impact Level Requirements

No specific parameter values or requirements for this impact level.

>Discussion

Automated mechanisms can provide a more thorough and realistic incident response training environment. This can be accomplished, for example, by providing more complete coverage of incident response issues, selecting more realistic training scenarios and environments, and stressing the response capability.
