How is incident response planning different from preparing for natural disasters or system outages?
Incident response planning involves preparing for and responding to security incidents such as cyber attacks or data breaches. It focuses on identifying, containing, and mitigating the impact of security incidents on an organization’s systems and data.
On the other hand, preparing for natural disasters or system outages involves planning for disruptions caused by events like hurricanes, earthquakes, power outages, or hardware failures. The focus is on ensuring business continuity and restoring operations in the event of such disruptions.
While incident response planning and preparing for natural disasters or system outages may share some common elements such as risk assessment and recovery procedures, they differ in terms of the specific threats they address and the actions required to effectively respond to and recover from each type of incident.
