Guides:Incident response guide: what to do if you experience a breach
When security incidents do happen, a fast, calm, and systematic response from your team could mean all the difference. You wouldn't review your fire drill guide in the middle of a fire, would you? The same goes for being prepared for a cybersecurity incident or breach.
With a clear, comprehensive incident response playbook in place you can minimize the repercussions and offer peace of mind to your customers, employees, and investors.
This guide takes you through the major considerations for responding to a data breach, including recommended actions for each of the five typical stages of incident response:
Identification
Triage
Response and notification
Post-mortem
Future planning and preventative work
