Cyber incident response involves seven critical phases that provide a structured and systematic approach to handling security incidents.
The phases include Preparation, Identification, Analysis, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Lessons Learned / Post-Incident Activity.
Mastering these phases is essential for minimizing damage, ensuring a quick recovery, and strengthening defenses against future cyber threats.
Constantly reviewing and updating the Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan based on real or simulated incidents is crucial for organizational resilience.
