SAINTCON 2025 · Day 1 · Main Track 2
In a departure from typical conference presentations, "How to not fumble your Table Top Exercise" at SAINTCON transformed the concept of a tabletop exercise into a dynamic, live-action competition. Hosted by klipper, this talk pitted four seasoned security and IT professionals against a series of practical, on-the-spot challenges designed to test their **everyday carry (EDC)** preparedness and problem-solving skills. The format resembled a game show, with contestants retrieving items from their personal bags to address scenarios ranging from a dead laptop in a server room to needing to back up two terabytes of data without cloud access.
