Developing and maintaining an effective Incident Response plan and team has never been more important. This session will present an in-depth look at several recent data breach victims and how their incident response processes led to effective business resumption or epic failure. Attendees will learn best practices for responding to incidents, from law enforcement, forensics and legal considerations to compliance and public relations. The presentation will also cover the standards and compliance regulations - from NIST and US-CERT to HIPAA and the NYS Information Security Breach and Notification Act - that should be considered when developing Incident Response policies and procedures.
