Before defining incident response, it should be understood what is meant by an incident.
An Incident is any unlawful/unauthorized action that involves a computer device, including IoT that has an Operating System and network connectivity.
Incident Response is a structured approach to validate, contain, and remediate malicious activity. This process starts at threat detection and is completed when there is resolution to the malicious activity.
According to findings from the 2018 Ponemon Breach Report, the average cost (incident containment) of a compromised or lost record due to a breach was $148 per record and the cost savings of having an Incident Response program to address compromised/lost records would be $14 per record.
An effective incident response solution identifies, validates, and remediates incidents in a structured way minimizes the adverse impact (etc. disruption of service and loss of data) for an organization. The goal of an incident response solution is to ultimately restore the organization back to normal operating standards before the incident occurred.
Accelerated incident response, from validation to containment to remediation, reduces the potential damage to your organization. Fidelis Endpoint and Fidelis Network can help identify malicious activity, contain it, and where provide the remediation steps and capabilities needed to eradicate the threat and strengthen security against future attacks.
