Both companies and individuals should have an IT Security Incident Response Plan. In a corporate environment, employees, vendors, and contractors need to know how to quickly report an incident to the correct people to respond and address the situation.
An incident can be an occurrence, condition, or situation arising in the course of work that resulted in or could have resulted in:
It is essential to understand that reporting an incident, even if you did not fall for the situation, allows the IT Department to be aware and use it to make others aware of the technique being used by cybercriminals. This increases awareness through the entire company and educates other staff that might not be as cyber-aware of the threats.
With cybercrimes continuously rising in record numbers, we cannot assume we are safe and must continue to communicate and educate everyone in the organization of the dangers and that we are all targets. Sometimes, the savviest technical users are tricked with basic techniques because it becomes almost normal behavior.
The facts are scary. With over 70% of companies in the education, research and medical industries and over 50% of IT firms being directly affected by cybercrimes, we must stay diligent; we need to keep our employees aware of current and possible threats to our organization’s systems and information.
Building an effective IT Security Incidence Response Plan involves a proactive approach. Intrada recommends the following:
The simple rule of incident notification is contacting the CST when staff experience or observe any unauthorized activity that attempted or succeeded in accessing any information. The CST will then review the incident and handle the next steps in the process.
To report an incident, contact the Intrada Help Desk using the online Help Desk System or by calling 800-858-5745. The help desk team will route any incidents to the Intrada CST for review and follow-up.
