The GC’s 30-Minute Breach Drill
Reed Smith has posted a white paper advising general counsel how to master the first steps of dealing smoothly with a computer intrusion.
The steps begin with the initial debriefing from the IT director, the HR director or whoever presents the information about the compromise. They progress through such steps as contacting outside cyber security counsel, directing IT staff to freeze all internal audit trails – including vendor traffic, convening a meeting of the Incident Response Team within one hour, and more, ending with contacting the CEO.
The paper describes detailed actions that should be made at each step of the process.
