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.

Many organizations assume they are resilient — but without a well-structured, rigorous testing program, how can you be sure? A truly resilient organization doesn’t just test once a year and hope for the best. Instead, it implements a comprehensive, continuous testing strategy to uncover gaps, validate preparedness, and build confidence in its ability to withstand disruptions. Jamie Goodloe, Lead Business Continuity Consultant at Riskonnect, breaks down the essential elements of an effective testing program — one that moves beyond a check-the-box approach and provides real, actionable insights. You’ll learn how to: - Break down testing silos across IT and the business - Design and implement a holistic testing strategy - Define and identify critical roles to support your testing program - Accomplish end-to-end testing in a hybrid environment - Translate testing results into resilient posture metrics NOTE: This is a sponsored webinar with content produced by Riskonnect.

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.
