Cyber incident response involves a structured approach to managing and mitigating the effects of cyberattacks or breaches. It encompasses preparation activities, such as developing an incident response plan, assembling a response team, and conducting training exercises. The goal is to quickly detect, analyze, and contain incidents to minimize damage. Following incidents, recovery procedures are initiated to restore systems and data, along with post-incident reviews to improve future responses. Effective preparation is crucial for organizations to maintain business continuity and protect sensitive information.
