The landscape of cybersecurity is constantly shifting. Businesses must continually evolve security strategies in order to guard against targeted hacking and insider data breaches. However, you cannot rely on prevention alone. The unfortunate reality is that, even with the best preventative security measures in place, organizations should anticipate some kind of breach occurring at some time. Rather than relying solely on preemptive security—and then scrambling when a breach occurs—it is imperative to create a strong cyber incident response plan so that your business is prepared for any security issues.
Plan Your Data Breach Response
When a data breach occurs, the goal is to contain the damage and remediate the situation as efficiently as possible. This is not the time for debating a course of action. It is important to fully plan your counter-attack in case of a data breach. Your organization should have mapped out procedures in place for the various response teams. Practice the plan in order to measure response time and effectiveness. Reevaluate the plan regularly to be sure that it is as streamlined and potent as possible. Building a strong incident response plan in advance will allow you to respond as quickly as possible when the time comes—limiting the damage to your organization as much as possible.
