Incident Handling
Incident response refers to an organized approach used to manage and address the security breach aftermath of the attack. The goal of incident response is to limit the damages to the network infrastructures as well as reducing costs and time employed for recovery of critical data. The paper does not suggest that the organization should shut down the network systems because they may lose a substantial market values by implementing this tactic. Moreover, shutting down the network system may hinder a full investigation of the cause of the incidents.
The following steps should be employed for the incident response. First, the organization should coordinate an IT team who will be in charge of updating the security measures to respond to network and computer security incidents correctly and quickly. The next stage is to identify where the incident has occurred. Typically, the IT team should identify whether the attacker uses the virus or worm for the attack and the strategy to eliminate the tool used for the attack from the company information systems. The IT team should identify the affected devices and systems and take steps to prevent further damages. The team should investigate the origin of...
The team should also take a step to recover data from the database and ensure that the files are cleaned to ensure that the systems are free of vulnerabilities. Moreover, the IT team should beef up the security of the information systems to prevent future occurrence. The paper also suggests that the company should use the service of digital forensic experts to investigate the origin of the incidents. By identifying the origin of the incidents, the organization will be able to take appropriate step to eliminate the incidents. More importantly, the paper suggests using the Dell SecureWorks software, which is an effective software, to carry out the incident response as well as digital forensic practices. The software is an effective tool to minimize the duration of the threats.

component of effective incident handling is a security management team that is engaged in constant preparation and network scanning for such a breach. "Once your security team declares there has been a breach, it should inform the incident management team, and it should assemble within minutes" (Schilling, 2013, p.3). The team should then conduct "network forensics, systems forensics and malware analysis" to understand the extent of the threat and
Protection for employees If employees adhere to the rules of the acceptable use policy, there are less liable to questionable issues. This also prevents them from engaging in hazardous internet issues, for instance, they are less likely to disclose their contacts to crackers using social engineering approaches. Moreover, ABBA should settle on using universal guidelines and principles with respect to network security, it risk assessment, risk analysis, and risk management. In
