Incident Response Planning

An Incident Response Plan is a documented set of instructions and procedures designed to help IT personnel and others detect, respond to and recover for cybersecurity incidents. The plan contains critical information about roles and responsibilities of the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT), and the procedures for identifying, containing, neutralizing and reporting cybersecurity incidents. 

Benefits of having an Incident Response Plan

• The organization is well prepared to respond and recover from cybersecurity attacks.
• The personnel responsible for the response and recovery efforts are well trained and understand their responsibilities.
• Satisfy organizational and regulatory compliance requirements.
