Companies and organizations across the globe face increasing threats of a security breach — both from internal threats (disgruntled employees or mislaid documents or laptops) and external threats (criminal networks, state-sponsored espionage and hacktivists).
Hacking of organizations’ systems is becoming increasingly commonplace, even with advancements in security practices. To mitigate risk, a company must have an enterprise-level, cross-functional incident response plan that is rehearsed and practiced. In the event of an incident a company with a rehearsed plan can avoid delays and mistakes, minimize conflicts between functions, and ensure regulatory, legal and contractual reporting requirements are met.
