Planning your cyber crime response
Key actions to prepare yourself for a cyber attack include:
- Assessing the potential reputational impacts of cyber crime on your particular organisation – what are your ‘crown jewels’?
- Determining who to have on your cyber incident response team (and briefing them ahead of time)
- Preparing communication materials beforehand to save time and achieve ‘in principle’ agreement for messaging
- Engage in scenario planning to help you make quicker and better decisions in the event of an incident
- Run cyber-crime crisis simulation exercises to test your plans and rehearse your teams
Security and cyber experts are working flat out to develop safeguards and technological solutions to stay one step ahead of the bad guys. Sadly they can never be 100% successful, so planning how you would communicate in the event of a cyber-attack is essential.
