    In cybersecurity incident handling, scenario-based solutions are crucial for preparing and responding

    effectively to various types of incidents. Here are the top five scenario-based solutions:

    1. Ransomware Attack
    • Preparation: Regularly back up data and implement robust network security measures.
    • Detection: Utilize advanced malware detection tools to identify ransomware activity.
    • Response: Isolate infected systems to prevent spread. Do not pay the ransom; instead, restore
    data from backups.
    • Recovery: Clean and restore affected systems from backups. Review and enhance security
    measures to prevent future attacks.
    • Post-Incident Analysis: Conduct a thorough analysis to understand the attack vector and
    improve defenses accordingly.

    2. Data Breach Involving Sensitive Information


    • Preparation: Encrypt sensitive data and restrict access based on roles.
    • Detection: Implement an intrusion detection system (IDS) and regularly audit access logs.
    • Response: Notify affected parties and regulatory bodies as required by law. Initiate a forensic
    investigation to determine the extent of the breach.
    • Recovery: Strengthen access controls and encryption methods. Offer support to affected
    individuals, such as credit monitoring services.
    • Post-Incident Analysis: Review policies and train staff to prevent similar breaches.

    3. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) Attack


    • Preparation: Employ DDoS protection solutions like rate limiting and web application
    firewalls.
    • Detection: Monitor traffic to identify unusual spikes or patterns indicative of a DDoS attack.
    • Response: Activate DDoS mitigation strategies; re-route traffic if necessary.
    • Recovery: Restore normal service operations and assess any potential damages or data loss.
    • Post-Incident Analysis: Analyze the attack to bolster defenses against future DDoS attempts.

    4. Insider Threat
    • Preparation: Implement strict access controls and conduct regular security training for
    employees.
    • Detection: Use behavior analytics to monitor for unusual activity from internal users.
    • Response: Investigate and contain any unauthorized access or activities. Take appropriate
    disciplinary/legal action.
    • Recovery: Revoke access privileges of the involved individuals and rectify any data integrity
    issues.
    • Post-Incident Analysis: Review insider threat policies and consider additional safeguards like
    enhanced monitoring and employee background checks.
    5. Phishing Attack Leading to Compromised Credentials
    • Preparation: Conduct regular phishing awareness training for all employees.
    • Detection: Utilize email filtering solutions and encourage employees to report suspicious
    emails.
    • Response: Reset compromised credentials immediately. Notify affected users and guide them
    through changing their credentials.
    • Recovery: Scan for any malware introduced via phishing and clean affected systems.
    • Post-Incident Analysis: Analyze the phishing attempt to improve email filters and update
    training materials.
    Each of these scenarios highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity
    incident handling, encompassing preparation, detection, response, recovery, and post-incident analysis
    to mitigate risks and strengthen security posture.
