Description: Incident management involves procedures to effectively handle and respond to cybersecurity incidents, including DDoS attacks. This process is crucial for ensuring service continuity and the integrity of affected systems. In a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack, multiple compromised systems send massive traffic to a target server, which can lead to resource saturation and ultimately service disruption. Incident management focuses on the rapid identification of the attack, containment, and recovery of affected services. This includes implementing preventive measures such as configuring firewalls and intrusion detection systems, as well as training staff in incident response. Additionally, having a communication plan to inform users and stakeholders about the service status and actions being taken is essential. The effectiveness of incident management is measured not only by the speed of response but also by the ability to learn from each incident to improve future defenses. In an increasingly threatened digital environment, incident management has become an essential practice for organizations seeking to protect their assets and maintain customer trust.
