I spent a summer working at a nuclear power plant.  On a regular basis, the plant’s engineers would feed false data into the reactors computer to test the response time of the reactor’s system to put the system back into equilibrium.[1] 

Does your organization have a similar way to test or assess how it will react to unexpected conditions in mission critical areas?  What is the response capability of your firm?  Are you hoping you never find out?  Good luck with that!



[1] I had the task of writing a program to take the test results and put them into an easy to understand format
