Cyber Incident Response
Cyber Incident Response refers to the structured approach to handling and managing the aftermath of a cyber attack or data breach. The primary goal is to effectively manage the incident to minimize damage, reduce recovery time, and limit costs. Here’s a general outline of the key steps involved in an effective Cyber Incident.
With a group of experienced Incident Response (IR) practitioners on hand, you can indeed be confident that your company has the competence it needs to recover from a direct violation.
Cyber Incident Response Process:
Preparation
Create a comprehensive plan detailing the response strategy. Assemble a team of professionals with defined roles and responsibilities.
Identification
Implement monitoring tools to detect unusual activities or breaches. Investigate alerts to determine whether they indicate a real incident.
Containment
Immediately isolate affected systems to prevent further damage. Implement strategies to continue business operations while addressing the incident.
Eradication
Determine how the incident occurred and what vulnerabilities were exploited. Eliminate malware, unauthorized access, and any other threats from the environment.
Recovery
Bring affected systems back online safely and securely. Closely observe the environment for any signs of residual threats or vulnerabilities.
Learned
Analyze the response to identify strengths and weaknesses. Revise the IRP based on lessons learned to improve future responses.
