“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” Benjamin Franklin “The more you know about the past, the more prepared you are for the future.” Theodore Roosevelt
“A man who does not plan long enough ahead will find trouble at his door.” Confucius “If you aim at nothing, you will hit it every time.” Zig Ziglar Preventing a cyberattack is usually less expensive and more effective than trying to respond to one after it has occurred. In 2016, 71% of companies were affected by a successful cybersecurity attack. Yet, only 46% have an incident response plan, and only 44% believe that they could detect a sophisticated attack.
With cyberattack attempts both increasing and sophisticating, chances are that some attempts will be successful—leading to downtime, disruption, loss or compromise of data, and cost.
Building strong incident response capability, anchored on a comprehensive incident response plan, is the most effective way to address a successful cybersecurity attack.
This session covers how to respond successfully to cybersecurity attacks by developing incident response capability through policy, planning, and processes. Welcome to CDSE’s Short on the importance of and approaches to building an effective response capability.
