Experiencing a Breach?
A Systematic Approach: The Incident Response Methodology
The complex nature of a breach requires an organized approach.
- Preparation – before a breach: In this phase an organization will engage in Incident Response Planning and Securing Resources.
- Detection and Analysis – detection of the breach: A quality AI-driven detection systems or human observation will flag the intrusion. This will be followed by forensics analysis to find the vector and discover network movement.
- Containment, Eradication, and Recovery – The breach clean up will first seek to contain the attack followed by its removal so the recovery process can begin.
- Post-Incident Activity – Reflection on breach activities will answer the question, what have we learned? and How to improve performance to ensure business continuity?
- Expert Witness Testimony – is the culmination of all breach activities needed to determine how an attacker accessed, traversed and planted malware on your network and more.
