Covers the procedures and techniques used in incident response and disaster recovery, including incident management, backup and recovery, and business continuity planning.

Incident response planning: The process of creating a detailed plan for responding to security incidents in an organization.
Threat modeling: A technique for identifying and assessing potential security threats to an organization's information systems and data.
Vulnerability management: The process of identifying, assessing, and mitigating vulnerabilities in an organization's IT systems.
Risk assessment: The process of identifying potential threats to an organization's information systems and assessing the likelihood and impact of each threat.
Penetration testing: The process of testing an organization's information systems to identify weaknesses and vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Cybersecurity incident investigation: The process of investigating security breaches and other incidents to identify the source of the attack and determine the scope and extent of the damage.
Disaster recovery planning: The process of creating a plan for restoring normal operations after a major disaster or incident.
Business continuity planning: The process of creating a plan for maintaining essential business functions during and after a major disaster or incident.
Incident response team management: The process of managing and coordinating the activities of an incident response team during a security incident.
Incident response framework: A structured approach to incident response that defines the roles and responsibilities of team members, establishes communication protocols, and outlines the steps to take in response to a security incident.
Proactive incident response: This type of incident response anticipates potential cyber attacks or security breaches and takes preventative measures, such as conducting security assessments, implementing security controls, and conducting employee training.
Reactive incident response: This type of incident response involves responding to a security breach or cyber attack that has already occurred. The goal is to contain the attack, investigate the incident, and prevent further damage.
Technical incident response: This type of incident response involves addressing the technical aspects of a security breach or cyber attack. It includes activities such as analyzing system logs, conducting forensics investigations, and identifying and patching vulnerabilities.
Business continuity planning: This type of disaster recovery strategy involves preparing for the worst-case scenario and ensuring that critical business functions can continue in the event of a disaster. It includes activities such as identifying critical business processes, developing contingency plans, and testing disaster recovery plans.
Disaster recovery planning: This type of disaster recovery strategy involves recovering critical systems, data, and functionality after a disaster. It includes activities such as restoring data backups, rebuilding systems, and testing recovery plans.
Cloud incident response: This type of incident response focuses on security incidents that occur in cloud computing environments. It includes activities such as investigating cloud security breaches, managing access controls, and configuring security settings.
Mobile incident response: This type of incident response focuses on security incidents that occur on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. It includes activities such as investigating mobile security breaches, managing device access controls, and configuring security settings.
Network incident response: This type of incident response focuses on security incidents that occur within a network environment. It includes activities such as investigating network security breaches, managing network access controls, and configuring network security settings.
Social engineering incident response: This type of incident response focuses on security incidents caused by social engineering attacks such as phishing, pretexting, and baiting. It includes activities such as investigating social engineering incidents, conducting employee training, and creating policies to prevent these types of attacks.
Physical security incident response: This type of incident response focuses on security incidents that occur physically, such as theft, sabotage, or damage to physical assets. It includes activities such as investigating physical security breaches, conducting risk assessments, and implementing physical security controls.
"An incident is an event that could lead to loss of, or disruption to, an organization's operations, services or functions."
"Incident management (IcM) is a term describing the activities of an organization to identify, analyze, and correct hazards to prevent a future re-occurrence."
"These incidents within a structured organization are normally dealt with by either an incident response team (IRT), an incident management team (IMT), or Incident Command System (ICS)."
"Identify, analyze, and correct hazards to prevent a future re-occurrence."
"An incident can disrupt business operations, information security, IT systems, employees, customers, or other vital business functions."
