Description: Tactical response refers to the immediate actions taken to address a security incident. This approach is crucial in cybersecurity management as it allows organizations to react quickly to threats and minimize the impact of an attack. Tactical actions may include containing an attack, removing malware, restoring affected systems, and implementing mitigation measures. Tactical response is characterized by its proactive nature and focus on rapid problem resolution, helping to maintain the integrity and availability of systems. Additionally, it is an essential component of a broader incident response plan, which includes preparation, detection, analysis, and recovery. In an increasingly complex security environment, the ability to execute an effective tactical response can make the difference between a successful recovery and significant data or resource loss.
