Incident Response and Recovery

In previous chapters, we learned how to prevent and detect a threat. Now, it is time to face the threat head-on. We will learn what to do if something happens to the organization and how we recover the business if it’s lost due to an attack – that is, by using incident response plans and disaster recovery plans.

In this chapter, you will learn how to make incident response and disaster recovery plans, how to test those plans, and what to do with cyber insurance. This chapter will also cover the NIST: Respond & Recover methodology and explain it thoroughly with examples from incident response teams.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Incident response planning
  • Testing incident response plans
  • Incident response playbooks
  • Disaster recovery planning
