1 - Threat Modeling and Risk Assessment

1.1 - Vulnerability Scanning

• Regular Assessments: Perform weekly or monthly vulnerability scans.
• Penetration Testing: Conduct real-world intrusion simulations at least semiannually.
• Security Updates: Patch promptly when vulnerabilities are identified.

1.2 - Risk Mitigation Strategies

• Patch Management: Test fixes in a staging environment before rolling out to production.
• Risk Register: Catalog known risks with severity, likelihood, and mitigation steps.
• Incident Reduction: Combine system logs with analytics to predict and thwart attacks.

2 - Incident Response Plan

2.1 - Incident Identification

• Monitoring Systems: Run anomaly detection for data usage or suspicious traffic.
• Alerting Mechanisms: Notify cybersecurity staff instantly by email, messaging, or push notifications.
• User Reporting: Encourage users to report any abnormal activities

2.2 - Recovery Strategies

• Restoration Protocols: Rebuild from verified backups or unaffected nodes.
• Data Recovery: Prioritize the most mission-critical data.
• Post-Incident Analysis: Document root causes and steps to prevent future recurrences.

2.3 - Response Procedures

• Defined Roles: Assign Incident Commander, Communications Liaison, Technical Lead.
• Containment Measures: Temporarily lock down affected components.
• Communication Protocols: Share consistent updates, inform relevant authorities if required.
