Nevertheless, a few months ago, FindaxLabs detected suspicious activity on its network and realized that it was being attacked The attackers tried to gain access to customer information. Including emails, bank account numbers, and records of financial transactions. Upon receiving the alert, the incident response team responded swiftly Following the ICT readiness for business continuity (IRBC) policy and procedures, they immediately took down the communication channels to the server and went offline. Subsequently, they conducted vulnerability testing and network scanning, but did not identify any other backdoors. After dodging this attack, the company completely changed its approach toward cyber threats. Consequently, cybersecurity became one of their highest priorities.
FindaxLabs established a more comprehensive cybersecurity incident management plan based on its cybersecurity Incident management policy 10 effectively handle and mitigate future incidents and vulnerabilities. The cybersecurity incident management plan outlined a structured approach based on industry best practices and included various phases of the incident response process The company also created a post-incident report to evaluate the effectiveness of their response capabilities and identify areas for improvement It documented all relevant information related to the incident, such as category, priority, status, and actions taken to resolve it Based on this documentation, it defined the IRBC activities that helped them respond to and recover from disruptions, creating an IRBC timeline. The timeline consisted of three main stages: incident detection, response, and recovery. The company evaluated whether IRBC objectives were met for each phase. Through this evaluation, they determined that improved collaboration between business managers and ICT staff, as well as the implementation of preventive measures such as antivirus and firewalls, would have provided layered protection and better integration of cybersecurity into the business continuity strategy.

Based on scenario 8, FindaxLabs created a post-incident reportto evaluate the effectiveness of their response capabilities Is this a good practice to follow?

• A. Yes. the post-incident report helps organizations to evaluate their cybersecurity response plan and identify areas for improvement
• B. Yes. the post-incident report is the only source that the incident response team should use to solve future incidents in the most effective way
• C. No. the post-incident report shows the actual impact of the incident but does not help in evaluating the cybersecurity incident response capabilities

Scenario 3:EsteeMed is a cardiovascular institute located in Orlando. Florida H Is known for tis exceptional cardiovascular and thoracic services and offers a range of advanced procedures, including vascular surgery, heart valve surgery, arrhythmia and ablation, and lead extraction.
