Despite our best efforts to prepare, emergencies do happen and their effects can be devastating. Having strong cybersecurity controls in place does make us more secure, but they do not guarantee that mistakes won’t be made during everyday business operations. This is often how ransomware gets embedded or how threat actors are able to trick key employees into revealing sensitive information.
Having an incident response plan is critical to being able to survive disasters. Incident response plan covers things like the assets you’re trying to protect, the most common threats your business faces, how your information systems are configured, how you would bring them back up following an attack or natural disaster and who you would notify.
In this webinar you’ll hear from experts from CISA and the State of Hawaii Office of Homeland Security about the importance of having an incident response plan that covers cybersecurity incidents.
In this webinar you’ll learn:
- Why having an incident response plan is critical
- The elements of an incident response plan
- An approach for creating an incident response plan
- The State of Hawaii’s strategy for responding to cyber threats
- The State of Hawaii’s draft incident response plan template
