In today’s cyber landscape, threats aren’t a matter of if or when—they are impacting organizations right now. From ransomware attacks and data breaches to insider threats, every business is a potential target. The stakes are high: according to IBM’s 2024 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average global cost of a breach reached $4.9 million, with most incidents taking more than 200 days to detect and contain.
Why Incident Response Matters
A well-structured Incident Response (IR) program is no longer just an IT function—it’s a business imperative. Rapid detection, decisive containment, and clear communication across stakeholders can mean the difference between a manageable disruption and a catastrophic breach.
