Computer incidents occur daily and introduce risks to organizations. Organizations need to mitigate risks imposed by incidents with guidelines known as an Incident Response Plan (IRP). An IRP is developed to assist in responding to all incidents effectively and efficiently to protect the organization from financial, operational, and reputational damage. It is important to understand that several different types of incidents exist with varying ranges of sensitivity requiring a reciprocated response that should be defined in the IRP.
This session will discuss the various types of incidents and steps for building an effective IRP for your organization.
By attending this webinar, you will gain a better understanding of how to create an effective incident response plan that meets your organization's unique needs and can help you quickly and efficiently respond to security incidents.
As computer incidents that threaten to compromise systems and data continue to increase, it is crucial for organizations to be proactive in responding to incidents and protecting their assets, including hardware and data.
While many may assume that creating an Incident Response Plan (IRP) falls solely under the responsibility of the Information Technology (IT) department, best practices suggest a collaborative approach involving stakeholders from various departments within the organization.
Stakeholders exist within the organization from various departments, and they are essential partners in establishing the IRP with defined roles and responsibilities. Obviously, IT will have the major technical role and responsibility in handling and responding to incidents, and through best practices, we will highlight these key attributes.
In this session, you will learn these important aspects and become aware that organizations need to respond to incidents and demonstrate their ability to recover from the attack and prevent future occurrences.
