Cyber attacks are a reality for organizations large and small. Attacks frequently compromise personal and business data, so it’s crucial to respond quickly and effectively when security breaches occur. Organizations without an adequate incident response plan struggle to control and minimize damage, preserve evidence, provide quick and efficient recovery, prevent similar future events and gain insight into the threats. Responding to modern day information warfare requires exceptional technical expertise to detect and respond to the latest cyber threats originating from an incomprehensible amount of attack vectors.

What’s the benefit of an incident response capability? An Incident Response capability allows organizations to respond to incidents systematically so that appropriate action can be taken to help minimize loss or theft of information and disruption of services caused by incidents. Another benefit of incident response is the ability to use information gained during incident handling to better prepare for handling future incidents and to provide stronger protection for systems and data. An incident response capability also helps with dealing appropriately with legal issues that may arise during incidents.
