What is Incident Response?
Incident response is a multifaceted cyber security approach to protect onsite, digital, and virtual or offsite assets from an array of threats and attacks. The objective of incident response is multi pronged.
- The first aim is to detect a cyber security threat before it turns into an attack. Detection leads to prevention. Nexsus uses an assortment of tools and services for incident detection.
- The second goal is to detect a cyber security attack that is already underway. Such detection can lead to thwarting the attack before it manages to cause any damage.
- The third aim is to reduce the damage caused by an attack that may have already happened in the past. This includes facilitating recovery, so both time and money can be saved.
- The fourth aim is to conduct extensive root cause analysis and preparing a report that can strengthen the cyber security apparatus of an organization.
