This week's topics include the review of incident response planning. Documentation is a critical aspect of our job, and 50% of our time is spent in this capacity.
Explain in your own words the importance of keeping an Incident Response Plan (IRP) up-to-date with changes in a business. Hypothesize what you believe to be the greatest reason for a corporation to not have an updated IRP and explain the potential issues this could create.
Describe 3 to 4 critical elements that should be included in the IRP. Share a website or resource that would help in the creation and design of a new IRP. Share with your classmates, and include links to any useful resource you find.
After reading a few of your classmate's postings, reply to the ones from which you learned something new, or to which you have something to add. Remember to get in early and post often.
Additional post option: What are the consequences of not having an IRP?
