Flashcards: Incident Response Plan

Establishing policies, procedures, and resources to support the incident response process. This includes identifying and training a dedicated incident response team, defining communication channels, and ensuring that necessary tools and technologies are in place.

Recognizing and verifying the occurrence of a security incident. This involves monitoring and analyzing network traffic, system logs, and other relevant data to detect abnormal activities or potential security breaches.

Taking immediate actions to prevent the incident from spreading and causing further damage. This may involve isolating affected systems, restricting user access, or implementing other measures to limit the impact of the incident.

Identifying and eliminating the root cause of the incident to prevent it from recurring. This step focuses on removing malware, closing vulnerabilities, and implementing corrective measures to ensure a more secure environment.

Restoring affected systems and services to normal operation. This may involve restoring data from backups, reinstalling software, and implementing additional security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.

Conducting a post-incident review to analyze the organization's response to the incident. This includes identifying strengths and weaknesses in the response process and making improvements to the incident response plan based on the lessons learned.
