Creating A Cyber Security Incident Response Plan: A Checklist For Mid-Sized Organizations (Video)

In an era of digital ubiquity, the risk of cyberattacks is not a matter of "if" but "when." For mid-sized organizations that often lack the expansive resources of large enterprises, the necessity for a rock-solid Cyber Security Incident Response Plan (CSIRP) is paramount.

Ensuring Cyber Security Incident Response Plan Integrates with Cyber Security Policy and Strategy

A cyber security policy and strategy should include:

1. the scope of technology and information assets that need to be protected,
2. assessment and identified threats to those assets, and
3. detail the rules and controls for safeguarding the assets and the business.

An incident response plan is part of the rules and controls for protecting valuable assets.
