Cybersecurity Incident Report
Cybersecurity Incident Report
A Cybersecurity Incident Report is a document that provides a detailed and factual account of a cybersecurity incident, from detection to resolution. The report typically includes the date, time, and location of the incident, the type and scope of the affected systems and data, the suspected cause and method of the attack, the actions taken by the incident response team, and the impact and consequences of the incident. The purpose of the report is to document the incident for internal and external stakeholders, such as management, auditors, and regulators, support the investigation and analysis of the incident, and identify the lessons learned and areas for improvement. The report is usually prepared by the incident response team leader or a designated member, using a standardized template and format, and is reviewed and approved by the appropriate level of management.
