As new types of security incidents are discovered, it is absolutely critical for an organization to respond quickly and effectively when an attack occurs. When both personal and business data are at risk of being compromised, the ability to detect and respond to advanced threats before they impact your business is of the utmost importance.

After they entered, they may have left all the other windows and doors open Before working in cyber-security, I once worked at a company, when I was approached to look at another staff member’s email account which was “acting a bit funny”. When I looked, I found the sent mailbox was filling every 5 seconds with a new sent email, each to a seemingly random recipient, each purporting to be able to help the recipients “Meet girls” or “enlarge” one’s whatnot.

Security incidents are increasing with each passing day. Some of the recent incidents have impacted globally and resulted in catastrophic damages to organizations. The interlinked and complex information technology infrastructure, on which the whole world relies, provides ample space and opportunities for incidents to escalate into disaster. An effective and planned response to incidents can become the reason for company’s existence after an incident occurs.
