Incident Response can help get you through a Data Breach involving, encryption, ransomware, viruses, and other business outages. For that, you need an experienced and responsive team that will understand how your company operates and restores services.
If the answer is “I don’t know” or “No” then we need to immediately talk.
If you answered no, then there is a high probability that it’s out of date and at this time you should consult with an Incident Response Professional.
Short answer is, no. If you have good backups your job is safe for now.
If yes, then let’s hope you have good backups. If not, you will need to pay the ransom or start rebuilding everything. Decrypting Ransomware is an almost impossible task.
50% of Breached Companies will not recover from a Ransomware or Cyber Attack, and almost 80% don’t know how to implement an Incident Response plan.
Most companies are left with common questions like:
First let’s start with the obvious question. An Incident Response Plan will help you think about the steps to take in restoring business systems post data breach or incident. It is the precursor of critical thinking on how you restore systems, what systems should be restored first, who will need to be involved to help execute that work, and how you will prevent another incident from happening again.
In most cases, you don’t know if your process is good, bad, or needs to be improved until you actually run through it. Unfortunately, most companies either don’t have a plan, and if they do it’s most likely outdated or irrelevant, because people, process, or technology changes over time. As a result, it’s important to perform dry-runs by simulating an incident so you can rinse and repeat the procedures.
Like, we mentioned above, an Incident Response Plan should be built with several main categories that are outlined below. The important factors to prepare you for an incident is to test these processes and procedures, and refine them. Leverage your technology partners, vendors, suppliers on how their technology can help. It’s critical to know your strengths and weaknesses in case of crisis.
This IR Plan is an example of a standard industry process. Each organization and industry has different Incident Response steps. This is ONLY an example of common IR Plans. As a result, please ensure you consider all internal and external dependencies required to restore system services and data availability post Data Breach or Incident.
