Determining the effectiveness of an incident response plan

Study based on lessons learned from a real life incident

Incident Response planIt is not possible to completely eliminate the occurrence of incidents, therefore, it is important to ensure highly effective response plans are in place to react should an incident occur. An Incident Response plan should be formalized and needs to cover a complete set of response areas relevant to the affected institution in order to:

  • Allow smooth execution
  • Minimize business impact
  • Minimize the likelihood of incident reoccurrence 

This whitepaper aims to provide an insight on how to assess the effectiveness of an incident response plan, based on our experience in mitigating incidents and lessons learned from a real life case study.
