Computer Security Incident Response & Management PRACTICE CONSULTANTS EXPERTS PROFESSIONALS

Establishing an effective incident response program is a key component of an information risk management strategy. Incident response is an organized approach to addressing and managing the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack, also known as an IT incident, computer incident, or security incident. The goal is to handle the situation in a way that limits damage and reduces recovery time and costs.

For many organizations, computer security incident management involves the monitoring and detection of security events on a computer or computer network, and the execution of proper responses to those events. Computer security incident management is a specialized form of incident management, the primary purpose of which is the development of a well understood and predictable response to damaging events and computer intrusions. Incident management requires a process and a response team which follows this process.

Be Aware of Security Incident Response

Even the best information security infrastructure cannot guarantee that intrusions or other malicious acts will not happen. When computer security incidents occur, it is critical for an organization to have an effective means of managing and responding to them. The speed with which an organization can recognize, analyze, prevent, and respond to an incident will limit the damage done and lower the cost of recovery.

This process of identifying, analyzing, and determining an organizational response to computer security incidents is called incident management. The staff, resources, and infrastructure used to perform this function makeup the incident management capability.

Our experienced team uses several threat intelligence tools and the most current security technology to respond to attacks and reduce damage and exposure. Strengthen your security program with assessments, threat hunting, and tabletop exercises.

How Robust is your Response Plan

Having an effective incident management capability in place is an important part of the deployment and implementation of any software, hardware, or related business process. Organizations are beginning to realize that communication and interactions between system and software developers and staff performing incident management activities can provide insights for building better infrastructure defenses and response processes to defeat or prevent malicious and unauthorized activity and threats.

A cyber security incident response management plan is a guide that outlines the steps to manage a cyber security incident. The plan should help you and your employees detect incidents quickly, lessen the impact, and return your business to normal as soon as possible. The plan should set out the process of:

  1. Preparing for a cyber incident
  2. Detecting the threat
  3. Assessing the level of threat and impact
  4. Responding to the level of threat
  5. Reviewing the process and improving the incident plan if needed.

All Reviews and Audits we conduct are considered as planned and independent evaluations of one or more products or processes to determine conformance or compliance to a set of agreed to requirements. We take on the view that,

  • Auditing is an “objective assurance and consulting activity designed to add value and improve an organization’s operations.” Our Reviews and Audits provide assurance by validating that the products and/or processes are implemented in accordance with their requirements and objectives.
  • Audits are consulting activities because they provide on-going analysis of the degree to which those implementations are effective and efficient and they identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
  • Audits also visibly demonstrate management’s support for the quality program.
