Assess Current Incident Response Capabilities
Ever wondered how robust your incident response is? Delve into assessing your current capabilities to discover strengths and areas for improvement. This task sets the stage for developing a robust incident response plan by pinpointing existing gaps and vulnerabilities. Equipped with this insight, your team can prioritize enhancements. But beware, this requires an objective assessment - a challenge that can be overcome with structured evaluation frameworks and tools!
