The FBI is taking the threat of hacker intrusions, shouldn’t
you? In the current technological world we live in, it’s obvious that a
response like this is necessary from the FBI. Not only for the sake of private
companies, but for the wider country, our infrastructure is becoming more and
more networked. Attacks like these are an enormous threat to national security.
But what about home security? Just as our national
infrastructure becomes more and more networked and connected, more and more of
our personal information is stored on our home networks and computers. This
information is valuable, both to you and to a potential hacker looking for
credit card numbers or other personal information they may be able to sell for
profit.
Prevention is necessary, and I certainly hope that you are
keeping your machines updated and your antivirus software on, as well as
steering clear of the more unsavory corners of the internet. But what
about when an incident does occur? Do
you have a plan to deal with that?
How do you detect and intruder or other incident? What steps
do you take to stop the violation? How do you recover from it? In the cyber
security world these kinds of questions are addressed in an Incident Response
Plan. Maybe you don’t need to go through all the paperwork, but being able to
answer these questions could help you out a great deal when the inevitable
happens.
