On the Alert: Crafting an Effective Incident Response Plan (IRP)

• OVERVIEW

Stemming from fiduciary responsibilities, an Information technology (IT) leader’s information systems related due-care drives appropriate information security due-diligence activities. Administrative due-care redresses activity responsibility, whereby due-diligence includes continuously promoting compliance. Interpretively, an organization’s information systems should represent resources committed to collecting data, processing transactions, and communicating operational results within defined legal limits. Consequently, an enterprise’s management must ensure due-diligence is exercised by all individuals involved in the development as well as the deployment of information systems.

• WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND

IT is entirely secure when resources are utilized and accessed as intended under all circumstances. Through delegation, every enterprise manager assumes responsibility for maintaining an adequate control system that safeguards assets. However, typically charged with responding to intrusions negatively impacting organizational information assets are information security managers. Thus, security incursions transform information security managers into chief threat firefighters directing resources to extinguish security breach flames. To competently perform this security service, two critical incident response elements are necessary: information and organization.

In today’s world, every organization no matter how large or small needs an Incident Response Plan in place to quickly manage and address the consequences of a breach. How your business responds to a security incident can have a profound impact on its ability to recover from the attack and prevent a future occurrence. The volatility of today’s threat landscape makes an incident response (IR) more challenging than ever. It is no longer sufficient to image hard drives and restore from backups. You must eradicate security breaches before they spread.

This presentation will provide you with valuable insights into building a dynamic and agile IR program. In this Incident Response Webinar, information systems management expert Dr. Robert E. Davis, CISA, CICA will advise users on how a well-designed, pressure-tested Incident Response Plan can save your organization from significant financial, reputational, and regulatory issues.
