The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS) Cybersecurity Unit recently issued a comprehensive list of Best Practices for Victim Response and Reporting of Cyber Incidents. While the recommendations were "drafted with smaller, less well-resourced organizations in mind," the measures can likewise be beneficial to larger organizations. The DOJ emphasized that the best time to plan for a cyber incident is before it occurs. The recommendations are broken down by the cyber incident life cycle, identifying what companies should do before, during and after a cyber-attack.
