In order to properly handle security breaches, what is the most important part of incident response?

A. Incident identification
B. Historical logs of mitigations
C. Performing a lessons learned review
D. Preparation

Reveal Answer

The correct answer is D.

In incident response, and in all other aspects of security, the most important element is preparation. Without proper and sufficient preparation, no other action will be effective or adequate.

Preparation helps to clarify the means by which incidents are identified, knowing the need to keep records (i.e. being prepared) will drive an organization to retain historical logs of mitigation, and performing lessons learned review can help improve future preparedness.
