Cyber incident response: a guide for small businesses

Cyber incident response offers a structured approach to respond to, manage and mitigate security incidents in order to limit the potential disruption of attacks. In this blog, we discuss how small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are being impacted by cyber threats, what cyber incident response involves and the steps you can take to protect your business.

Are You Prepared? - Incident Response 101

Hoping for the best but preparing for the worst is a good rule for many situations. The same applies to an incident response plan. Not every organization that develops an incident response plan has used it, but those who have needed to use one are happy they had it and they're a lot better off than those who had no plan. Join Gary Perkins and Chris Clements on April 3rd in discussing the importance of creating an incident response plan. Learn steps you can take to prepare your organization in the instance of a cybersecurity incident.

Effective Cybersecurity Incident Response: What to Expect from Your MDR Provider

Companies engage with a managed detection and response (MDR) provider to help ensure they detect cyber threats before they do any damage. The "response" part of the MDR moniker is key to that effort, making it vital to determine up front exactly what your chosen provider will do when it detects a threat in your environment.

Who You Gonna Call? For Incident Response

Globally, no organization is immune to attack. Cybersecurity threats are a reality and every organization, anywhere in the world, is a potential target, regardless of location or size. It’s not a question of if, but when an incident will affect your organization. Do you know who you will call for assistance?

Understanding the Vital Importance of Security Awareness in Today's Digital World

The IT security awareness training is organized to educate individuals to recognize and avoid cyber threats, aiming to prevent or minimize damage to your company while reducing human errors. By promoting a security-first policy and educating all employees on protecting personal and company data, your company can prevent those threats.

5 Steps to Creating an Incident Response Plan

No matter how robust your cyber defenses are, there is a high likelihood that your organization will experience a cybersecurity incident—either directly or as a result of a supply chain attack. Implementing a cybersecurity incident response plan can help you effectively address a cyber event, reduce disruptions to your business operations, and ensure compliance with regulations.

What is an Incident Response?

After a bank heist, the work begins with specialized teams and plans engaged, allowing for analysis of the event, and from this analysis, the bank can prepare a response to the incident. The incident response may include stricter entry protocols, additional guards inside or around the building, or the installation of metal detectors, ID scanners, and panes of bulletproof glass surrounding the tellers.

The Urgent Need for Real-time Cloud Detection & Response

It is impressive how explosively the cloud security market has embraced detection and response in recent months. The industry, including both users and vendors, is rapidly acknowledging the complexity of modern cloud attacks. Facilitated by automation and APIs, attacks cannot be effectively countered with traditional solutions that lack context of cloud environments or focus solely on posture.

Incident readiness is crucial for state and local governments

Local governments in the United States faced a surge in cyber threats during the latter half of 2023, with over 160 cybersecurity incidents impacting the State, Local, and Education (SLED) sectors. Alarming statistics reveal that many of these incidents were ransomware attacks (45%) and data breaches (37%). As custodians of vast amounts of personal and private information, local governments are entrusted with safeguarding sensitive data against evolving cyber threats.
