Do you have an incident response plan?
Aug 6th, 2014 by Jesper Kråkhede
I have a long track record with business down situations. When everything fails, no one manage to get the systems up and running again my phone used to ring and I was expected to come and solve the situation and…I always did. After a while you have seen it all and know where to tackle a specific problem. One thing that was very common then, and sadly still is, is the lack of incident response plans. In at least 40% of the cases a simple incident response plan would have stopped a problem in it´s tracks and returned it to a simple backup restore solution. Today in 2014 only two-third of the companies have incident response plans. In any business down situation those plans are worth their weight in gold. Anyone that has had a visit by me knows that.
