Here’s something no business wants… you find yourself in the middle of a cyber attack.
It’s more common than you think. And how you respond can determine how badly your business is affected.
Here are 5 steps you must take to help recover
Step one: Create a solid incident response plan BEFORE you need it. How can your team sound the alarm? Who does what? Where do you turn for help?
Step two: Assess the situation. Quickly determine the extent of the damage and activate your response team.
Step three: Contain the breach. Lock down affected systems, change passwords, and stop cyber criminals from doing more damage.
Step four: Restore from backups. Having backups can bring your systems back online without losing data.
And step five: Learn and adapt. Every challenge is an opportunity to grow. Analyze what went wrong, refine your incident response plan, and strengthen your defenses.
