Data & Cyber School: Do You Know How To Deal With A Cyber Incident?

You are probably sick of hearing that a cyber incident is now an inevitability – it's "when – and not if".

A cyber incident extends beyond a cyber attack and includes for example, a denial-of-service incident arising from a flood of traffic taking down a website.

Our 5^th space of warfare article shares guidance on how to avoid, manage and respond to a cyber incident and focuses on technical response.

But what if you are expected to play a key role in the incident response team (IRT) but your role is not core technical response – you aren't going to be able to remediate or eradicate the technical aspect of the incident and you won't be directly involved in, for example, recovering data from the back-up once the system is cleaned.
