Security Incident & Threat - Breech Management
Security incident and breach management refers to the process of identifying, responding to, and mitigating the impact of a security incident or breach, such as a data breach or cyber attack. The goal of security incident and breach management is to minimize the impact of the incident or breach and to restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
There are several steps involved in security incident and breach management, including:
-
Detection: The first step in incident and breach management is to identify that an incident or breach has occurred. This may involve monitoring for unusual activity, such as unusual traffic patterns or attempts to access sensitive data, or receiving notification from an external source, such as a customer or law enforcement agency.
-
Analysis: Once an incident or breach has been detected, it is important to quickly gather and analyze information about the incident or breach to understand the scope and impact of the incident or breach and to identify the root cause.
-
Containment: The next step is to contain the incident or breach to prevent it from spreading or causing further damage. This may involve disconnecting affected systems from the network, deploying security controls to block malicious activity, or isolating affected data.
-
Eradication: Once the incident or breach has been contained, the focus shifts to eliminating the root cause of the incident or breach and restoring affected systems and data. This may involve repairing damaged systems, cleaning up malware, or resetting passwords.
-
Recovery: After the incident or breach has been eradicated, the focus shifts to restoring normal operations and recovering any lost or damaged data.
-
Lessons learned: Finally, it is important to review the incident and breach management process and identify any areas for improvement to help prevent future incidents or breaches.
Overall, effective security incident and breach management is critical to minimizing the impact of a security incident or breach
