Jack Chapman, vice president of threat intelligence at Egress, tells ComputerWeekly what goes into a good incident response plan and what steps security professionals should take to properly prepare for the almost inevitable attack and gain buy-in from the organization's leadership.

The first step to creating a robust incident response plan is to test it. It is important not to wait until you encounter a problem to test all elements of the plan, especially for critical systems and processes.

Involve relevant stakeholders as if a major algeria mobile database were occurring to review the process, technology, and people.

Theoretical exercises can be a great way to put all elements of a plan into action if the team understands why the exercise is important and demonstrates in practice what it is like to be under pressure during an incident.

An incident response plan must be robust and take into account business priorities: not all systems are equally important, so it is important to know which systems need to be protected and restored first.

paying special attention to interconnected systems. And remember, the systems you rely on to implement the plan can fail too!

While this may seem like overkill, the main advice is to ensure that everyone who may be involved in an incident has a printed copy of the incident response plan at home and at work.
