A cybersecurity incident response plan is a structured approach that organizations use to address and manage the aftermath of a cyberattack or security breach. This plan typically includes several phases: preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned. Key components often involve identifying critical assets, establishing an incident response team, and outlining communication strategies. By having a clear and actionable plan in place, organizations can mitigate damage, reduce recovery time, and support regulatory compliance. Additionally, a well-crafted response plan enhances an organization’s overall resilience against future cyber incidents.
