Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What happens if a company has a Cyber Security Breach?

1. Preparation (This is Key – an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!)

Ensure an Incident Response Team (IRT) is already designated (IT, Security, Legal, PR, HR, Executive leadership).
Have playbooks for common attack types (ransomware, phishing, insider threats).
Maintain up-to-date backups, logging, monitoring, and security tools.

2. Identification

Detect and confirm the incident through monitoring tools, alerts, or employee reports.
Classify severity (low, medium, critical) based on impact to confidentiality, integrity, availability (CIA triad).
Document what’s known: time, affected systems, potential attack vector.

3. Containment

Short-term containment: isolate affected systems, disable compromised accounts, block malicious traffic.
Long-term containment: apply temporary fixes (e.g., segmentation, firewall rules, password resets) while planning eradication.
