Program Plan Intro

Mitigation control strategy:

It is the process of reducing the impact created by an attack rather than reducing the success of the attack itself. This strategy begins with an early detection of the attack which are in progress and the capability of an organization to respond quickly, effectively, efficiently.

To proceed with this strategy, it requires three types of contingency plan. They are Incident Response Plan, Disaster Recovery Plan, and Business Continuity Plan. Each plan specifies its ability to detect and response faster for an attack. These plans rely on the existence and quality of other plan.

Three planning approach:

  • Incident Response Plan (IR)
  • Disaster Recovery Plan (DR)
  • Business Continuity Plan (BC)
