FAQs
You have questions. We have answers.
What is incident response and why is it important?
Incident response is a strategy for handling and managing the aftermath of a security breach or cyber attack, also known as an IT incident, computer incident, or security incident. The goal of incident response is to manage the situation in a way that limits damage, reduces recovery time and costs, and ensures that information is not compromised.
What are the key steps in an incident response plan?
Creating an incident response plan is an undertaking that requires extensive strategic work and broad discussion across your enterprise. To begin, it’s advised that you prioritize your assets—asking questions along the lines of ‘What are our most important assets?’ and, just as important, ‘What assets would a cybercriminal target for an attack?’ Once you have developed a prioritized list of top-tier applications, users, networks, databases, and other key assets, you can begin to develop an accurate picture of what’s on your network, and how data traffic moves in normal circumstances. Should you require expert guidance, our Cybersecurity has a team of cybersecurity experts, ensuring that your organization receives top-notch guidance and support. Our broad portfolio of solutions allows our experts to create holistic incident readiness and response programs that address people, process, and technology considerations.
What is the difference between incident response and disaster recovery?
Incident response goes well beyond simply getting back to work after an attack as one might in simple ‘disaster recovery’. A well-planned incident response not only discovers what happened and how, it provides valuable insights into the attack, as well as illustrating what improvements can be introduced to ensure your network is prepared for the evolution of cyberattacks. Our Cybersecurity can tailor an incident response to meet the unique needs of your organization, ensuring that your security posture is strengthened in the most effective and efficient manner possible.
Should we test our incident response plan?
Testing your plan is one of the most important things you can undertake to help ensure that a cyberattack doesn’t paralyze your enterprise or cause long-term financial and reputational damage. Testing is essential for every aspect of cybersecurity because numerous analyses have shown how damaging even a minor attack can be to an organization if it is not quickly and expertly addressed. Partnering with us gives you access to state-of-the-art tools, resources, and technology to help protect your organization from cyber threats.
What role does incident response play in the legal and compliance aspect of a cyberattack?
The legal requirements related to a cyberattack can vary widely, depending on what your business is and where you do business. Cyberattacks can have broad financial implications beyond loss of data or delays in getting back to work. Having an effective, strategic incident response plan in place—and investing the time to test it regularly—can play a vital role in ameliorating the situation in the case of an attack.
