| Titre | What is Incident Response? |
| Texte | This blog was written by a third party author. As new types of security incidents are discovered, it is absolutely critical for an organization to respond quickly and effectively when an attack occurs. When both personal and business data are at risk of being compromised, the ability to detect and respond to advanced threats before they impact your business is of the utmost importance. As the threat landscape broadens, having to defend yourself is no longer an “if” but a “when.” Data breaches and cyberattacks can wreak havoc on your organization, affecting a wide range of business assets — including customer trust, company time and resources, intellectual property, and brand reputation. According to Ponemon’s Cost of a Data Breach Report, organizations boasting robust security Incident Response (IR) capabilities have reduced breach-related costs by an average of about $2 million USD. The savings here differentiate organizations with a dedicated Incident Response team that tests their plans and those with no IR team or testing. As the average cost of a data breach hovers around $3.86 million, or $150 per lost record, the “time is money” proverb is validated. Incident Response defined An Incident Response Plan (IRP) is a set of procedures used to respond to and manage a cyberattack, with the goal of reducing costs and damages by recovering swiftly. A critical component of Incident Response is the investigation process, which allows companies to learn from the attack and be more prepared for potential attacks. Because numerous companies experience breaches at some point in time, one of the best ways to protect your organization is a well-developed and repeatable Incident Response plan. The goal of incident management is to identify and respond to any unanticipated, disruptive event and limit its impact on your business. These events can be technical — network attacks such as denial of service (DoS), malware or system intrusion, for example — or they may result from an accident, a mistake, or perhaps a system or process failure. Today, a robust Incident Response Plan is more important than ever. The difference between a mere inconvenience and a total catastrophe for your organization may come down to your ability to detect and assess the event, identify its source and causes, and have solutions readily available. Incident response best practices Tyler Cohen Wood, former Senior Intelligence Officer with the Defense Intelligence Agency, explains that some of the most successful IR practices include response steps for various realistic scenarios. “An IR program should outline steps to take in the case of ransomware attacks, integrity attacks (manipulation of sensitive data), and exfiltration of sensitive data,” she advised. “Another best practice is performing periodic simulated cyberattack exercises to test your IR program and ensure that everyone involved understands exactly what to do and who oversees the response.” Wood, who has helped the White House, DoD, federal law enforcement, and the intel community thwart national cyber threats, also recommends that best practices consist of knowing exactly where, what, and how your most sensitive data is stored. This information, she said, should be included in the IR process. Equally important for any sized organization is to recognize and plan for cyberattacks that seek to alter or manipulate data rather than steal it outright. “This type of breach can be more difficult to ascertain,” she explained. “For this reason, it's critical to have data manipulation attacks on your radar and incorporated into your threat detection as well as your Incident Response plan.” Building an Incident Response Plan An Incident Response Plan serves |
