Incident Response
Don’t Let Incidents Catch Your Organization With the Guard Down
Incident Response Overview
Learn from the Other’s Mistakes
Preparing for a breach is essential as threats become more widespread and fast-acting. Organizations around the world struggle to respond to security incidents and often repeat the same mistakes. IT and security leaders should take the time to understand where others have gone astray to bolster the effectiveness of their incident response programs.
Four Key Aspects Towards Being Prepared
CDW’s team of cybersecurity experts will help your organization be prepared to face incidents by focusing on these four pillars:
Defining a Strategy
Incident response programs should be built on a solid cybersecurity strategy. Many organizations rush to purchase new technology solutions without first understanding the gaps in their existing efforts. CDW can help IT leaders develop a security strategy that assesses the risks facing their organizations and then design controls to remediate deficiencies.
Performing Tabletop Exercises
Organizations should conduct routine tabletop incident response exercises to get the practice they need to succeed when an actual incident takes place. CDW’s risk advisory team can lead these exercises, assuring everyone who participates in incident response, from the most senior leaders to frontline IT professionals, are able to keep their IR skills sharp.
Security Log and Analytics
Incident response depends on data. CDW can help organizations review their logging infrastructure to ensure log events from systems, applications and devices are consistently logged to a centralized repository, ensuring that organizations don’t stumble in the dark when they try to investigate and respond to an evolving cybersecurity incident.
Eradicating and Recovering
The incident response team's top priority is to contain the damage, limiting the scope of an incident. Once they have done that, they can move on to eradicate the effects of the incident and recover normal operations. For this, CDW partners with the leading cybersecurity IR and forensic firms in the world to guide you to a trusted steady state.
