Building an Incident Response Program To Suit Your Business

Core_1
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to outline the key concepts of an Incident Response Program (IRP). Although every organization is unique, there are basics components that should be included to mitigate disaster. This paper is in no way meant to be a comprehensive program for an IRP and should only be viewed as a starting point. For an IRP to be successful, the maintenance of the Program is an on-going process that must be kept current and reflect organizational / infrastructure changes and newly discovered vulnerabilities as they occur. In addition, an IRP should be a key component to a well-rounded information security program that includes Policies and Procedures, a Compliance Monitoring Program and an Intrusion Detection System.
