Understanding Incident Response
Incident response is a crucial aspect of addressing cyberattacks and cybersecurity incidents effectively. The primary goal of incident response is to contain and minimize the damage caused by a breach, thereby reducing recovery time and costs. It encompasses various aspects such as cyber incident response, data breach response, business email compromise response, ransomware response, and digital forensics.
Creating an Incident Response Plan
An incident response plan is a predefined strategy that organizations put in place to tackle cyberattacks comprehensively. It should outline the incident response team members along with their roles and responsibilities, necessary tools and technologies, steps to detect and identify cyberattacks, containment strategies, recovery processes, and mechanisms for learning from the incident to improve future response efforts. The SANS Institute checklist suggests six key steps for creating an effective incident response plan.
