Over the years, we have highlighted several steps businesses and nonprofits can take to reduce the risk of a cyberattack. Most of these initiatives previously discussed are designed to prevent or significantly reduce the chance that your organization becomes a victim of a cyberattack.
However, no one can completely secure their network or reduce the risk of successful cyberattacks to zero. As such, businesses should also discuss how they would respond in the event they were impacted by an attack (either a ransomware attack that locks up your systems or a theft of data, or both). These considerations are known as Incident Response Plans. The purpose of incident response planning is to make as many decisions as possible while you are levelheaded and not responding during a stressful situation.
By downloading our Cybersecurity Resources for Not-for-Profits, you’ll get access to a PDF version of our series on The Importance of Incident Response Plans and our NFP Cybersecurity Best Practices Checklist.
