Description: The actions taken to address and mitigate the impact of a security incident or breach in the context of cybersecurity are essential to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of data and services. Cybersecurity integrates security practices into various operational processes, promoting a culture of collaboration among development, operations, and security teams. When a security incident occurs, it is crucial to have a response plan that includes incident identification, damage containment, threat eradication, and recovery of affected systems. This involves using automated tools for vulnerability detection, as well as implementing access controls and data encryption. Additionally, conducting forensic analysis to understand how the breach occurred and prevent future incidents is essential. Continuous staff training and conducting incident response drills are recommended practices that help strengthen the organization’s security posture. In a technology environment, where resources are dynamic and scalable, security must be a shared responsibility, and mitigation actions must be swift and effective to minimize the impact on the business and end users.
