DISCUSSION QUESTON(S):

Incident response is a key component in a security awareness program. While not all incidents can be prevented, incident response capabilities can detect and reduce the losses resulting from security attacks.

Conduct a search for a security incident that occurred within the last four years and resulted in the breach of more than 500,000 records. Review the details of the incident and reflect on the organization’s response.

Explain whether you think the affected organization handled the security incident correctly. Additionally, explain whether the organization could have done more to communicate with customers. What did the organization do well, and what did it do poorly in response to the breach?
