Prepare for a breach with this thought-provoking guide, which details how breaches can be treated and the direction you should take if you’ve been affected.
Spiced with real-life incidents and breaches, this guide will inform a first-line defence for those looking to avoid and/or minimise the destruction caused by a data breach.
Aligned with the international information security standard, ISO 27001:2013, this book sets out a strategic framework for handling information security incidents and breaches, including:
What should you do first? Who should you go to? How should you handle it?
The author explains what your top priorities should be the moment you realise a breach has occurred, making this book essential reading for IT security managers, chief security officers, chief information officers and chief executive officers.
It will also be of use to personnel in non-IT roles, in an effort to make this subject more comprehensible to those who, in a worst-case scenario, will be on the receiving end of requests for six- or seven-figure excess budgets to cope with severe incidents.
