Quick Glossary: Cybersecurity Attack Response and Mitigation

Your computer network is under constant attack. The hard reality is that one of those cyberattacks will succeed, and you had better be prepared.

    Featured definition from the glossary:

    Evidence collection policy

    To form a basis for criminal proceedings after a network security breach, an organization should have a systematic plan for discovering, collecting, cataloging and securing evidence. Evidence may include documents, logs, software or hardware. The evidence collection policy should be clear and unequivocal.
