Week 11 - BSIT380-T303 System Hardening and Network R - Defining Incident Response

    Incident response (IR) is a structured approach to detecting, responding to, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. It helps organizations minimize downtime, limit financial loss, and maintain compliance with regulations like GDPR and HIPAA. A well-prepared incident response plan ensures businesses can swiftly mitigate threats, protect sensitive data, and uphold customer trust. The NIST Incident Response Lifecycle outlines four key phases: preparation, detection & analysis, containment & recovery, and post-incident review. By following these steps, organizations can effectively manage cyber threats and enhance their security posture. To build a strong incident response framework, businesses should establish a dedicated response team, utilize real-time threat intelligence, and conduct regular security drills. Automated detection tools and AI can further enhance response efficiency. Testing and updating IR procedures ensure readiness for evolving threats. As cyber risks continue to grow, a proactive and well-executed incident response strategy is essential for safeguarding digital assets and maintaining operational resilience.
