This manual will assess and document the use of a system backup tool to create a good copy of the system hard drive for a Windows 8.1 as part of the incident response process. It will also assess and document the use of the good copies of the system hard drives to restore system availability after an incident has occurred. This will be done by providing step by step directions on how to navigate and implement different functions in Windows 8.1. There are two major sections of this manual, creating a clean disk image for a Windows 8.1 workstation and using a clean disk mage to restore the system hard drive for a Windows 8.1 workstation. We will help prepare draft incident response guidance to be included in the Sifers-Grayson Incident …show more content…
The flexible system recovery system can backup whole partitions or individual files and folders into a single compressed mountable archive file. In the event of any type of partial or complete system loss, this can be used to restore the whole disk or one or more partitions or individual files and folders. This tool also offers WinPE which lets you perform a bootable USB Stick. This feature is meant to be used if your PC fails to reboot. This software is capable to facilitate disk imaging to recover corrupted and lost files, includes a backup option for everything also Offers 256 bit encryption. Features of Paragon Backup and Recovery 16 software are as follows: Smart Backup, Selective Restore, basic partitioning features, partition alignment, drive cloning, migrate Windows to different hardware, scheduling and scripting, GPT, UEFI and dynamic disc support, and recovery disc requires registering.
Typical Uses for Incident Response: It is important that organizations prepare for, and are proficient in identifying and handling, possible cybersecurity problems. The model proposed by Schultz, Brown and Longstaff presents the six-phase model of incident response including Preparation, identification, containment, eradication, restoration and follow-up (Lucas & Moeller, 2014). The preparation phase allows Sifers-Grayson to prepare an incident response plan prior to an incident. This first step defines the rules, teams up the personnel and
The backup copy will be kept on a flash drive and will only be used in case of a disaster. A disaster recovery plan is used when a company needs to recover sensitive information if a system crashed and data was lost. My colleagues and I had to decide how often we should backup files and after doing some research, we came to a conclusion to backup data once a day due to the company’s sensitive data and operations so all information will be saved. If any changes are made to the company such as software updates the disaster recovery plan should be updated as well so it can be updated. Every six months the plan will be tested to make sure it is working properly and effectively. We decided that only authorized employees will have access to critical files to and to backup data. Next time a disaster occurs the Company will be prepared and not have information lost because all files will be on a flash drive and be updated once a day. We took into consideration other scenarios happening such as cyber attacks and decided to invest in an anti-hacking system and firewalls to make sure all information is
2. Disaster recovery: A great disaster recovery plan will be added to the SLA. We will have a team in place with 24 hours support if the system is compromised. We will promise to have systems back up in running in 36 hours. Data will be back
Backup and Recovery document provides clear instructions to follow in case of emergency and outlines step by step process to restore data
The Policy was detailed and thorough, making it possible for employees to begin recovering data as soon as a data center becomes operational. The backup schedule was followed, resulting in no loss to proprietary data. The ability to recover data means that very little funds will need to be spent on research that has already previously been accomplished. These funds can be used to recovery other physical assets, and be put to use in developing a more robust Disaster Preparedness Plan.
The National Incident Management System is a systematic guideline on how to effectively plan, mitigate, respond and recover, from significant incidences especially those that encompass diverse interest and involves all levels of governments. It works hand in hand with the National Response Framework, which provides structure for incident management while NIMS provide the guide for all departments and agencies at all levels of government, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector to work flawlessly during incident management to reduce loss of life and property (U. S. Department of Homeland Security, 2008). The core aspect of the National Incident Management System during incident response is the Incident Command System (ICS),
We'll break this up into two sections: the backup and then the restore, since that's the general order you will take.
The goal of creating better transportation security systems to move people and cargo more securely and efficiently attribute to the protection phase of the domestic preparedness cycle. The ability to move cargo safely and efficiently through our national ports makes them an economically critical infrastructure, which coincides with the Department of Homeland Security’s initial goals and the domestic preparedness cycle (Cordner, 2016). The response phase of the domestic preparedness cycle parallels the goals of information-sharing and increasing overall preparedness, which lead to the creation of the National Incident Management System. The National Incident Management System established a common set of terms and procedures used during multiagency coordination, unified command, and the identification of equipment, resources, and common protocols for processing events and disseminating information regarding an incident (Cordner, 2016, p. 433). The standardization of communication and procedures display how the Department of Homeland Security goals and the
As part of our disaster recovery plan, we have configured one of the servers as a backup that contains a complete backup of the primary server. The backup server will be configured so that if the primary server fails, then the backup server will come online, so that there will be no interruption in service. Each week we will test the backup server to ensure that all the files are readable and accessible. Then, once a month we will test the recovery plan creating a failure to make sure the backup server comes online.
Planning for an incident and the responses to it requires a detailed understanding of the information systems and the threats they face.
Regardless of how vigilant an organization is, security incidents are inevitable. To minimize the impact of a disaster, an incident-response policy is needed to outline the recovery processes to be implemented after an attack has occurred (Conklin, 516). The incident-response policy aids in establishing an incident-response team, defining when operations should be resumed, and ensuring that operations will resume.
After Windows 95, users quickly saw Windows 98 and then Windows ME released. Within these releases Microsoft added support for reading DVD discs and USB support. Various programs were included as well to allow users to use their computer to carry out more tasks, this included the System Restore Tool which allowed users to take their computers back before a problem occurred. (Microsoft, 2014)
“Disaster Recovery is the process an organization uses to recover access to their software, data, and/or hardware that are needed to resume the performance of normal, critical business functions after the event of either a natural disaster or a disaster caused by humans” (Disaster Recovery) The goal for any disaster recovery plan would be
Disaster recovery is an activity of recovering IT systems following of complete or partial loss of a site due to a natural disaster or security event. Depending on the extent of disaster, DR can be achieved by restoring systems at an alternative site or within the same site using alternative equipment. DR requires extensive manual methods to bring IT
A backup is where a copy of the data is stored on the same disk or another location and is the primary means for retrieval of data should the need arise (i.e. due to loss of data or corruption).
Photo backup works by means of taking a picture of the hard force of the computer at a particular second in time. The duplication takes place through copying disk block while it 's far written or by way of the usage of cut up-mirror set of disks. The recovery from backup is achieved in any such way that the end result is nearly instant. Picture backup can supply complete, partial, record or even a few differential database backups.
