Computer Incident Response

An incident response program is a critical component for an organization’s sustainability and security in the face of a computer security incident.  Computer security incidents are a menacing threat for organizations and their information assets. These incidents are often targeted and decisive, leaving the victim organization in complete disarray. Security incidents are deliberate electronic attacks on the communications or information processing systems of an organization and could be carried out by just about anyone ranging from a disgruntled employee to a malicious competitor or even a hacker who finds your organization’s information valuable.

Organizations should have a formal incident response program and know how to respond to and handle a security incident to control the costs and consequences that could result. In the event of a security incident, organizations should take immediate action to investigate the incident, limit the exposure of confidential data such as cardholder data, banking data, any non-public customer information, and any other sensitive information that falls under the purview of a law. It is often at testing times like these that many organizations are unable to respond effectively and decisively to minimize the damage and potential spread of the impact.
