THE CYBERINCIDENT MANAGEMENT PROCESS AS A NECESSARY STAGE IN THE ORGANISATION OF ENTERPRISE CYBERSECURITY

Abstract

The article explores the main steps of the cyberincident management process, analyses the features of their organisation, and defines the role of cyberincident management within the overall cybersecurity framework of enterprises. This allows for the proper identification of priorities when developing an incident response and management plan to reduce system recovery time.

Each stage of the cyberincident management process is detailed, focusing on deliberate or accidental events that pose a threat to the security of information systems or networks and can lead to a disruption of their normal operation.

The cyberincident management process, which is an integral part of the overall cybersecurity strategy for enterprises, is viewed as a system involving detection, analysis, response, and mitigation of the consequences of destructive events. The first stage of the cyberincident management process is event detection, where certain situations are identified that could disrupt the organisation’s regular activities. The second stage involves sorting and analysing events, i.e., classifying potential cyberincident and determining their priority for resolution. The third stage is response and recovery, which includes responding to the incident, limiting its impact, and minimising the damage caused by its occurrence. The fourth stage is improvement, which focuses on restoring normal system operations after the cyberincident has been localised and neutralised. Thus, the cyberincident management process is an essential component of the organisation’s cybersecurity framework.

The conclusion is drawn that to ensure effective cybersecurity, enterprises must systematically implement risk assessment, development of security policies and procedures, use of modern technologies to protect information systems, staff training, and the creation of a cyberincident management plan.
