Description
‘A penny-wise, pound-foolish approach to incident response easily winds up costing a company dearly after their luck runs out.’ As the quote above explains, incident response needs to be a top priority within every organisation, given the extent of the cyber threat landscape. A thorough and well-organised incident response plan/process can be of so much benefit to the organisation at the end of the day. The article suggests that some organisations wait until a cyber attacks has occurred, before realising they have ad-hoc incident response plans. There is an ever-greater need to get plans, initiatives and processes in place early, to sure up the organisations’ defences before it’s too late.
