The disruptions making headlines today—ransomware attacks, supply chain breakdowns, and cascading third-party failures—are exposing the limits of traditional scenario testing. But with every challenge comes an opportunity: to reimagine how resilience programs are built, tested, and improved. In this webinar, Fusion’s David Halford and Mandy Leavell, explore how innovations in AI and data science are transforming scenario testing into a more powerful tool for resilience. They examine the full testing lifecycle—scenario design, tabletop exercises, gap analysis, and reporting—and highlight where programs often fall short. You’ll see how organizations can leverage AI to automate complex tasks, expand testing scope, uncover hidden vulnerabilities, and turn reporting into data-driven insights executives understand and value. Whether you’re evolving tabletop exercises, strengthening preparedness, or reframing resilience as a measurable business advantage, this session will equip you with practical strategies to test smarter, prepare faster, and prove the value of your program in moments that matter most. Key takeaways: - Why traditional scenario testing struggles to keep up with today’s disruptions - How AI and data science expand scenario design, testing, and reporting capabilities - Practical steps to reduce bias, overcome resource constraints, and close gaps faster - How to shift from reactive exercises to proactive, data-driven resilience strategies - Ways Fusion helps organizations transform scenario testing into a strategic advantage NOTE: This is a sponsored webinar with content produced by Fusion Risk Management.

Be prepared for anything. With the increasingly complex threats facing organizations today, along with added pressure from evolving regulations, your organization must be able to thrive through any kind of disruption. That’s why scenario testing should be a pillar in every organization’s resilience program. Going beyond simply testing for success, a good program tests for vulnerabilities so teams can identify gaps, make improvements, and proactively mitigate relevant risks. In this webinar, Fusion Risk Management’s Lead Data Scientist Davis DeRodes and Sr. Product Marketing Manager Mandy Leavell will illustrate how a strategic, data-driven scenario testing program can assess your organization’s ability to deliver critical business services during a crisis, as well as boost confidence in your strategic decision-making.

Enabling your organization’s resilience capabilities can be a daunting task. Risk domains traditionally sit in siloed functions and resiliency plans struggle to gain footing across an enterprise. An organization’s disjointed areas of resilience may hinder efforts to empower employees to make sound resilience-based decisions. In this session, we will explore how properly leveraging technology promotes greater stakeholder engagement and increases connectivity across an organization. We will focus on the following elements crucial to the adoption of technology following its implementation: - Engage stakeholders through change management: Handing out access to a technology does not mean stakeholders will use it. Emphasize user experience to ensure scalability of your resilience capabilities. Training and supporting users on how to use the technology will help propel your program forward. - Always be automating: Look for opportunities to automate to improve data quality. This shift allows users to concentrate more on analyzing data rather than collecting it, which leads to saving time and resources and improving reporting. - Don’t set it and forget it: Continuously review your evolving business objectives and needs to confirm your technology remains suitable and effective. Many organizations implement technologies hoping to bolster the success and reach of their resilience program, but they forget new technology alone won’t enhance a program. Start by assessing current technology use, next identify automation opportunities, then plan for regular technology effectiveness reviews to ensure resilience capabilities are continuously optimized.

Operational Resilience (OpRes) seems to be the new buzzword in the industry. Is there something interesting about it, or is it just the next flavor of the day? In this session, three industry leaders will discuss their take on Operational Resilience. They will present an overview of recent drivers for OpRes, namely regulatory requirements in the Financial Services Industry (FSI) and the increasing pressures of unhindered operations in an interconnected customer-centric world. They will then outline what it means for organizations inside and outside the regulated industry. Finally, they will wrap up with challenges to consider when thinking about adopting Operational Resilience capabilities in your organization.
