Building an incident response program

Every organization must define what guidelines will be followed for the preparation to respond to security incidents and the starting point is the evaluation of the level of maturity and the security posture of the organization.

Preparing to respond to cybersecurity incidents should be an ongoing cycle that should consider an up-to-date view of risks and threats.

Incident response is not just about the use of tools or procedures; it requires developing a comprehensive incident response program that helps the organization be more efficient in detecting threats and increasing preparedness to respond to incidents and security breaches.

Incident response procedures and guidelines

Procedures and guidelines should be well documented. Having the procedures documented step by step helps reduce the number of errors and allows the work to be done more efficiently.

Workflows must be documented for the distinct types of incidents or activities...
