Beyond the Breach – How effective is your Incidence Response Plan?
In the face of sophisticated threat actors, a foolproof incident response plan is your best defense.
Follow these steps to make your response plan effective:
- Preparation – Identify critical assets, create a documented response policy and ensure all employees know their roles in safeguarding your digital fortress.
- Detectection and identification – Continually monitor your entire infrastructure to detect and identify threats before they escalate.
- Containment, eradication and recovery – Isolate affected systems, eliminate the root cause of the incident and restore the impacted areas to their normal state.
- Post-incident analysis – Document the lessons learned and implement proactive measures to prevent incident recurrence in the future.
- Continual improvement – Revisit and update your plan regularly to keep it relevant and ensure its effectiveness.
