    Building Muscle Memory: Preparing Teams for Cyber Incidents - A conversation with Bartosz Misiuro

    In this episode of the Crisis Designer Podcast, we speak with Bartosz Misiuro, Global Security Incident Management Lead and CERT Process Service Manager at Atos, about how organisations can better prepare for security incidents before they happen. Drawing on years of hands-on experience in global incident response, Bartosz explains what it means to work inside a Computer Emergency Response Team and why preparation matters just as much as response. He shares how tabletop exercises and crisis simulations help teams build muscle memory for the pressure, uncertainty, and coordination challenges that come with cyber incidents. We explore how to design realistic scenarios, how to adapt simulations for technical and non-technical audiences, and why it is so important to align objectives, roles, and responsibilities before the exercise even begins. Bartosz also talks about using real-world threat actor behaviour, ransomware materials, and current attack trends to make exercises feel tangible and relevant. The conversation also covers participant engagement, evaluation reports, practical follow-up actions, and the importance of turning lessons learned into something simple and usable, especially for senior leaders under pressure. If you’re interested in cyber incident preparedness, CERT operations, or designing exercises that genuinely help teams perform better when it counts, this episode is packed with practical insight.
