Contenu

Computer security incidents are so commonplace that organizations no longer wonder if they will suffer a computer attack, but when. Indeed, no matter how well an organization attempts to guard against a cyber-attack, it is clear that no one is immune to a security breach. When an incident occurs, the actions of the various responders can be critical to obtain and preserve evidence, as well as for determining the cause of the incident and managing the consequences.
