Today, being prepared to handle a computer security incident has become a top priority for most system administrators. As businesses increase their online presence and their dependency on information systems' assets, the number of computer incidents also rises.
Organisations must first develop and implement security plans and controls in a proactive effort. Second, they must work to ensure that their plans and controls are effective by continually reviewing and modifying them to guarantee that appropriate security is always in place. Finally, when controls are bypassed, either intentionally or unintentionally, organisations must be prepared to act quickly and effectively to minimise the impact of these lapses.
The prime objective of these security measures is to prevent an operational security problem from becoming a business problem that impacts revenue and services. Administrators can plan a response to incidents and minimise any negative impact to a business. Waiting until an incident has occurred is obviously too late to begin planning how to address such an event.
Incident response planning requires maintaining both administrative and technical roles. Each party must be familiar with the other's role, responsibilities, and capabilities.
