### WHAT'S INVOLVED IN CREATING AN INCIDENT RESPONSE PLAN?

With the number of cyber-attacks expected to grow rapidly over the coming year, it’s not a matter of 'if' your business will be targeted, but 'when'. This is why preparation is key. Creating an incident response plan doesn’t need to be difficult. Developed by the award-winning team at Aura Informaton Security, our useful guide outlines the four key steps you should be taking to ensure your business doesn't get caught off guard.

##### Simulation Exercises

The only way to truly test whether your incident response plan and any playbooks you have work is to test them. This step covers what to test for so you can assess how quickly your business is able to respond in the event of a cyber-attack.
