1 Assess Risk

Upon suspecting a cybersecurity threat, promptly evaluate the scope and potential impact. This involves identifying which systems are compromised, the type of data at risk, and how the breach could affect operations. Understanding the severity of the threat is crucial for prioritizing response efforts. Your immediate goal is to contain the breach to prevent further damage. This might involve disconnecting affected systems from the network to stop the spread of the attack.

A realiza??o de um assessment com uma empresa especializada é importante quando a empresa ainda n?o tem o aculturamento necessário do seu board para o entendimento e a dimens?o do problema. Após a entrega do relatório é importante criar um plano de a??o e agir com o apoio do board, sendo sempre muito transparente com as a??es e com os impactos que a falta dessas a??es podem causar a companhia. Apesar de ser um tema crítico, SI ainda n?o é um assunto relevante na agenda da maioria dos boards no Brasil.

An example will be to conduct a ISMS ISO 27001 Gap Assessment and find out areas of weakness. Also do a penetration test and technical tests to assess the robustness of systems. I would suggest to do two extra things. Run a compulsory test to ask relevant questions to end users and assess their knowledge. Secondly do a disaster exercise to see if people are ready if something goes wrong.

Analizar qué significa para la organización estar en riesgo, su nivel, para dar acciones inmediatas, si lo amerita. Analizar con los expertos todas la redes, sus sistemas de alerta, accesos de usuarios, sus sistemas de seguridad físico y digital SW y HW, contratar a empresa que realizan hackeo y de acuerdo al nivel corregir y proyectar mantenciones preventivas y predictivas en todos los niveles. Luego de las conclusiones del análisis, reforzar internamente con capacitación y mejoras de controles de SW y HW en la red tanto interna como de todos los sistemas compartidos y de trabajo

2 Engage Experts

It's essential to assemble a team of cybersecurity experts who can manage the crisis. This team should include IT professionals with experience in cyber threat analysis and mitigation. If your organization lacks in-house expertise, consider hiring external cybersecurity consultants. Their role is to analyze the breach, determine its origin, and recommend steps to secure your systems. They will also assist in implementing those recommendations to bolster your defenses against future attacks.

Starr with auditing the IT infrastructure. Once you have all the map, in front of you, start pin pointing the weakness, update or replace. Rests are team work.

3 Communicate Clearly

Effective communication during a cybersecurity incident is paramount. You must inform stakeholders, including employees, customers, and partners, about the breach without causing panic. Be transparent about what occurred, what information was affected, and what measures are being taken to resolve the issue. It's also critical to comply with any legal obligations regarding data breach notifications. This helps maintain trust and demonstrates your commitment to transparency and accountability.

4 Update Defenses

After addressing the immediate threat, update your cybersecurity defenses to prevent similar breaches. This could involve patching software vulnerabilities, updating antivirus programs, and strengthening firewalls. Regularly review and update these defenses to adapt to evolving cyber threats. Additionally, implement robust access controls and encryption to protect sensitive data. Educating employees about cybersecurity best practices is also vital, as human error can often be a weak link in security.

5 Plan Recovery

Develop a comprehensive recovery plan that outlines steps to restore affected services and data. This plan should prioritize critical systems to minimize downtime and ensure business continuity. Data backups play a crucial role in recovery efforts, so verify that your backup procedures are effective and that data restoration is possible. The recovery plan should also detail how to address any financial or reputational damage resulting from the breach.

6 Learn Lessons

Finally, conduct a thorough post-incident review to learn from the breach. Analyze what went wrong and identify any gaps in your cybersecurity strategy. Use these insights to improve your security posture and response plans. It's important to treat every incident as a learning opportunity that can strengthen your organization's resilience against future cyber threats. Regularly revisiting and updating your cybersecurity policies will help you stay prepared for an ever-changing threat landscape.

Two important takeaways: training and planning. If you train your employees, they'll be much less likely to expose your organization to risk by clicking risky links or attachments. And if you have a well developed cyber response plan (that is tested/reviewed annually) then each person will know what to do as part of an incident response. Include how to report potential breaches, who is responsible for assessing escalation, when and who should contact the media, insurance, law enforcement, etc., and what to say.) Cyber Insurance companies can often provide planning support and risk assessments in this area as it helps reduce their exposure to risk as well.

Conduct regular (at least every 6 months) cybersecurity awareness training for all employees to recognize and avoid phishing attempts and other social engineering attacks. Also, consider specialised training for IT department staff on the latest cybersecurity treats and countermeasures.
