Running head: 5-2 SCENARIO ASSIGNMENT 5-2 Assignment: Incident Response Plan SNHU IT522-X5230 Human Factors in Security 1 Running head: 5-2 SCENARIO ASSIGNMENT Introduction An Incident Respon... se Plan (IRP) has been crafted as a guideline to MUSA for handling potential incidents. An incident response plan “usually includes instructions on how to respond to potential attack scenarios, including breaches, denial of service/distributed denial of service attacks, network intrusions, virus, worms, or malware outbreaks or insider threats”[IRP]. The IRP will provide MUSA employees, interns, vendors and the security team directions on how to handle a security incident. A security incident is defined as “a warning that there might be a threat to information or computer security. The warning could also be that a threat that has already occurred. Threats or violations can be identified by unauthorized access to a system. A computer security incident is a threat to policies that are related to computer security”[Security_Incident]. Executive Summary Cybersecurity related attacks are happening more often and frequently, especially with technology quickly evolving. Breaches and attacks can suffer damages that include reputational damage, theft, financial loss, fines, and costs that occur below the surface. MUSA has identified a high number of laptop thefts and high number of security incidents. This has led to MUSA employee performance degradation and the contribution of employee low morale. Research shows us that preventative action that is based on a risk assessment will help in lowering the number of incidents. Authority [Show More]
