Information security incident response team

Over the last years, common information security measures cannot guarantee full protection of the company’s information, its IT systems, services, networks, and network perimeter. Obviously, after the introduction of security methods, most likely, there still will be vulnerabilities in the information infrastructure of the organization, which later can create conditions for malicious actions, leading to possible incidents in the information security system. Moreover, over time, new vulnerabilities that were not previously identified may arise. It should be noted that information security incidents can negatively affect the functioning and operation of the whole company. And as a result of such insufficient level of the structure preparation that aims to respond to information security incidents, the attacked organization may suffer significant financial and material damage.

Consequently, it is vital for organizations that are aware of the importance of information security to apply a comprehensive and regular approach to the following aspects:

• detection and reporting of information security incidents, providing their expert assessment;
• responding to information security threats, including activation of the necessary additional protective mechanisms to prevent or reduce consequences, as well as to recover from hacker attacks;
• gaining experience from dealing with information security incidents, introduction of preventative protective algorithms, and improvement of a consistent approach to the management of security incidents.
