Incident Response Management – Not a Fire Drill

In spite of the billions of dollars spent annually to prevent a data breach, breaches are being reported at a rate of more than eight per day. Most security experts say it’s not a matter of if your organization’s data will be breached, but when. If your organization does not have a well designed, formally documented, and regularly tested Incident Response process in place, how well will you respond to the data breach that is most likely in your future?
Not all Incident Response programs are created equal. Speed of action, without first understanding the nature and severity of an event can often lead to elevating the costs to the organization. Join this session to learn how to build an effective Incident Response Management process to identify and properly respond to the various levels of information security events.
