What if you wore a hacker’s shoes?

Do you have an account at Standard Bank, or a Gmail address? Or, perhaps, you have a Ferrari? All these businesses have been hacked, and in the case of the last company, it’s happened twice. Nobody is immune to cyber attacks. Incident management and reporting is a crucial facet of cybersecurity. This is the process of identifying, recording and analysing a threat, followed by its containment. The approach uses a combination of appliances, software and human investigation and analysis, and will typically kick into action after an incident has occurred. Security teams will then be able to analyse the incident to determine its scope, assess the damage it’s caused and work out a plan for mitigation.
