Abstract: This paper proposes a neuroscience-informed approach to training cyber security first responders for disaster preparedness. By incorporating insights from neuroscience research, organisations can develop training strategies that promote stress resilience and enhance decision-making under pressure. The training programmes and techniques proposed herein are not exclusive to a certain personnel role within the response team but are generalisable to all within an organisation facing stressors from large scale disasters requiring timely emergency response. As each organisation has its own particular response team protocols for various types of cyber security emergencies, the authors have suggested approaches to training, particularly as it relates to stress resilience, that are more easily scalable, generalisable and adaptable.
