It is available for usage, alteration, and reformatting according to the specific needs of your organization.  \nGoals for Cyber Incident Response  \nWhen a cyber security incident occurs , timely and thorough action to manage the impact of the incident is a critical to an effective response process. The response should limit the potential for damage by ensuring that actions are well known and coordinated. Specifically, the response goals are:  \n1. Preserve and protect the confidentiality of constituent and employee information and ensure the integrity and availability of \u003CCOMPANY NAME> systems, networks and related data.  \n2. Help \u003CCOMPANY NAME> personnel recover their business processes after a computer or network security incident or other type of data breach.  \n3. Provide a consistent response strategy to system and network threats that put \u003CCOMPANY NAME> data and systems at risk.  \n4. Develop and activate a communications plan including initial reporting of the incident as well as ongoing communications , as necessary.  \n5. Address cyber related legal issues.  \n6. Coordinate efforts with external Computer Incident Response Teams and law enforcement.  \n7. Minimize \u003CCOMPANY NAME>’s reputational risk.  \nPurpose and Scope  \nThis publication provides practical guidelines on responding to cyber security and data breach incidents in a consistent and effective manner. The plan establishes a team of first responders to an incident with defined roles, responsibilities, and means of communication.  \nWhile this plan is primarily oriented around cyber-related incidents and breaches, it can also be utilized for data breaches that are not related to computer systems.  \nIncident Response Team (IRT)  \nA team comprised of company staff, advisors , and service providers shall be responsible for coordinating incident responses and known as the Incident Response Team (IRT) . The IRT shall consist of the individuals listed in Appendix A, having the noted roles and responsibilities. This team will have both primary members and secondary members. The primary members of the IRT will act as first responders or informed members to an incident that warrant IRT involvement , according to the incident’s severity. The entire IRT would be informed and involved in the most severe incidents.  \nIRT members may take on additional roles during an incident, as needed. Contact information, including a primary and secondary email address, plus office and mobile telephone numbers shall be maintained and circulated to the team. The IRT will draw upon additional staff, consultants or other resources,(often referred to as Subject Matter Experts – SME’s) as needed, for the analysis, remediation, and recovery processes of an incident. The Information Technology (IT) function plays a  \nsignificant role in the technical details that may be involved in an incident detection and response and can be considered an SME in that regard.  \nThere shall be a member of the IRT designated as the Incident Response Manager (IRM), who will take on organizational and coordination roles of the IRT during an incident where the IRT is activated for response to the incident.  \nIncident Response Life Cycle Process  \nCyber incident response management is an on-going process with a cyclical pattern. The specific incident response process elements that comprise the Cyber Incident Response Plan include:  \n1. Preparation: The on-going process of maintaining and improving incident response capabilities and preventing incidents by ensuring that systems, networks, applications , and data handling processes are sufficiently secure, and employee awareness training is in place. Practice exercises (aka Table-top Exercises) for the IRT are conducted periodically , where various incid","cbCaiqdthXzh4Usx","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqdthXzh4Usx","pdf",241999,"English","# Goals for Cyber Incident Response\n# Purpose and Scope\n# Incident Response Team (IRT)\n# Incident Response Life Cycle Process\n## Preparation\n## Identification\n## Notification\n## Containment\n## Eradication\n## Recovery\n## Post-incident Activities\n# Incident Occurrence & Awareness","[{\"question\":\"What are the core goals of the cyber incident response plan?\",\"answer\":\"The plan aims to preserve confidentiality, ensure integrity and availability of systems and data, help teams recover business processes, provide a consistent strategy for threats, and establish communications and legal coordination.
