I'm exploring the structure and best practices for building an effective incident management response team. My current focus is on refining our team’s workflow to ensure rapid, organized responses during cyber incidents.
A few questions to get the discussion started:
• What core roles do you consider critical for a well-rounded incident response team? Beyond the standard technical experts, are there roles (e.g., communications, legal) that you feel should be formalized within the team?
• How do you approach defining the chain of command and decision-making authority during a crisis? Are there any strategies you've found effective for ensuring this is both flexible and clear?
• In terms of preparedness, what types of regular training or simulation exercises do you recommend to ensure that the team remains ready for emerging threats?
• How do you measure the effectiveness of your incident management program? Are there any particular metrics or post-incident analysis practices that have proven valuable?
Looking forward to hearing insights and experiences that can help broaden the discussion on creating resilient incident response structures.
