Study Notes
Security Plans Overview
- Common security plans implemented across various organizations include:
- Business continuity plan (BCP)
- Disaster recovery plan (DRP)
- Backup plan
- Incident response plan (IRP)
Business Continuity Plan (BCP)
- BCP is essential for preparing organizations for emergencies.
- Ensures continuous operation of critical functions during a disaster.
- Initiated by conducting a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) to assess potential damage and necessary recovery actions.
Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
- BIA includes:
- Immediate actions required for recovery
- Identification of personnel responsible for restoration
- Cost estimates for management decisions
- Plans are classified based on attack severity:
- Disastrous attacks necessitate a disaster recovery plan.
- Non-disastrous attacks require an incident response plan.
Training for Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) Team
- Team members require initial and comprehensive training tailored to their roles.
- Refresher training is essential for maintaining current skills.
- Training length and scope should suit individual responsibilities.
Testing of Security Controls
- Various methods to test effectiveness include:
- Checklist review, a straightforward form of testing.
- In-place controls that currently exist within operational systems.
- Planned controls that have set implementation dates.
- Thousands of types of risk mitigation security controls exist, categorized based on purpose.
Identifying and Evaluating Countermeasures
- In-place countermeasures can be assessed for effectiveness.
- Planned countermeasures should be evaluated for current threats and vulnerabilities.
- Proper personnel notification during an incident can be streamlined with predefined structures and scripts.
Incident Response Plan (IRP)
- Focus on activating containment strategies immediately during an incident.
- Essential for documenting incidents systematically.
Conclusion
- Effective security plans such as BCP, DRP, and IRP are critical for organizational resilience.
- Regular training, testing, and evaluation of countermeasures are vital for ongoing security readiness.
