Information Security Best Practices: Incident Response


Hands down, the worst time to create an incident response program is when you are actually having an incident. You can’t undo what has happened and you’re in crisis mode dealing with the after effects of the breach.
Not the time to be putting policy to paper.

Your reputation is severely at risk, and if you respond inadequately you risk making it worse with law enforcement as well as your customers. Act as if a breach is inevitable and take the time to develop the language and procedures you will use in the event of an incident to ensure you’re prepared when the time comes.
