Incident Response
INCIDENT RESPONSE PLANNING SERVICES
While you undoubtedly have security measures in place to protect your business, no matter how good they are, data breaches can still occur. However, while you can’t control how or when a cybersecurity incident happens, you can take charge of how your business responds.
By implementing a well prepared and tested cybersecurity incident response plan, you can reduce the impact of a breach and ensure your business is back up and running as quickly as possible.
Our cyber incident response services for Australian organisations can guide you through the process and give you the confidence of knowing precisely what to do in the event that disaster strikes.
THE RISK OF A CYBERATTACK
The variety and sophistication of cyberattacks is greater than ever before. Your organisation needs to defend itself against phishing attacks and ransomware, protect data on-premise and in the cloud, and ensure employees are educated and on-guard at all times.
With constantly evolving threats trying to evade defences, it’s no wonder that many of them are successful. Each year, almost two-thirds of businesses have one or more endpoints successfully compromised. If this happens to your business, how you respond will make all the difference.
THE INFORMATION YOU NEED
When it comes to cybersecurity incident response planning, knowledge is power. As part of our cyber incident planning service in Australia, InfoTrust will help you to scope out the key assets that need to be protected in your business, and we’ll support you in assessing different levels of risk so that you are better placed to prioritise actions. We’ll also review the processes you have in place for detecting and reporting incidents, so that you are always the first to know if there is a risk of a breach.
PLANNING YOUR CYBERSECURITY INCIDENT RESPONSE
Our experienced team of consultants can help your business develop a framework to deal with cybersecurity incidents in a consistent and effective way. Our incident response planning service involves four key steps:
- Assess risk – When an incident occurs, you need to be able to quickly assess the extent of damage and the severity of the incident and prioritise actions accordingly.
- Minimise damage – To reduce the impact of a cybersecurity incident, you need to remove the root cause, isolate at-risk areas, and restore systems as quickly as possible.
- Communicate plan – To ensure everyone takes the necessary actions, clear consistent messaging is needed across defined channels.
- Learn lessons – After an incident takes place, it should be recorded and analysed to help your business learn and reduce future risk.
InfoTrust also provides a variety of solutions and services to help your organisation bolster its defences against cyberthreats, including penetration testing, awareness training, consulting and advisory services, and a CISO Services Retainer.
