What is an Incident Response?

Incident Response is typically practiced by businesses but it’s also an important practice for personal consumers. Incident Response is a set of procedures and steps taken to react to, respond to, and recover from a cyberattack. Questions including who to contact, what to lock down, and what to do or change are best answered before an incident occurs

Here are some things to remember:

  • Once you determine and confirm that an incident occurred, don’t panic! Begin with resetting email, banking and other passwords that secure personally identifiable information (or PII). Passwords should not be easy to guess. A good practice: Use whole sentences/phrases.
  • Have important contact numbers for credit agencies, your Bank, your IT service professional and the local authorities.
  • Report other online scams including email phishing, malware, ransomware etc. to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center web site https://www.ic3.gov
