Cyber security related attacks are not only increasing in frequency but have become more disruptive and damaging. While business can take some preventative action to lower the number of incidents, not every attack can be prevented. Therefore, an incident response plan is critical for rapidly detecting the threat, minimizing the loss, and restoring crucial IT services.
First, What is Incident Response in Cyber Security?
Incident response is a set of information security policies and procedures used to prepare, detect, contain and recover data from any breach. The primary goal is to help any organization stop an attack, mitigate damage, prevent future attacks and speed recovery from an attack.
