DefinitionAn information security drill (情報セキュリティ訓練) simulates an incident so that staff practice until they can actually respond correctly.
ExplanationAwareness leaves people knowing what to do, while a drill leaves them able to act on the spot. For example, staff try out for themselves how to report a suspicious email and whom to contact when their PC behaves oddly. One session is not enough to make it stick, so drills are repeated regularly and the results reviewed.
AnalogyIt resembles a fire evacuation drill. Knowing the escape route on paper is not enough; only after walking it can you move without hesitation.
Memory hookA drill is something you repeat until it becomes automatic, just as the Japanese 訓練 combines "teach" and "train by repetition."
