PROTECT YOUR SENSITIVE DATA FROM CYBER THREATS
With every advancement in technology comes the risk of protecting your data. Cyber security incidents, from malware attacks to data breaches, threaten businesses of all sizes.
Businesses are under a constant threat of falling victim to such cyber attacks.
It is important to have a well-developed cyber security incident response plan to prevent the leakage of such confidential data and sensitive information. This will protect businesses of all sizes from becoming vulnerable to cyber threats and mitigate the impact of such events.
WHAT IS AN INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN?
It is a process through which an organization can handle a data breach or malware attack. The organization’s attempt to tackle the situation is also a part of the plan.
The main goal of a cyber security incident response plan is to effectively handle such a crisis, to ensure the bare minimum damage and swift recovery from such cyber attacks.
Therefore, it is crucial for businesses, small or big, to have a well-defined incident response plan that provides proper guidelines to be followed during such circumstances.
TYPES OF CYBER SECURITY INCIDENTS
Several types of cyber security incidents might lead to an intrusion in an organization’s network:-
- INSIDER THREAT: This occurs when an insider( former employee, contractor), with malicious intent, steals sensitive information from the company’s system.
- DENIAL-OF SERIVE ATTACK: This occurs when too much traffic floods the organization’s network, making it unavailable to be used by authentic users.
- MALWARE ATTACK:- Use of malware, such as a virus, to invade the organization’s network system to steal data.
STEPS TO DEVELOP AN INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN
- PREPARATION
Reviewing the existing security policies and identifying the vulnerable areas. Understanding the priorities and updating current policies to cover such vulnerabilities.
- IDENTIFICATION OF THREATS
Preparation makes it easier to identify threats and get into action. This helps in determining what steps need to be taken.
- ELIMINATION OF THREATS
After identifying the nature of the threat and the area affected, the teams can work on recovering the systems from malware and eliminating the attacker.
- RECOVERY PHASE
