Abstract: Incident response plans are important tools in the management of effects of cyber-attacks for the financial institutions. Since more and more financial organizations are under the cybersecurity threats’ attack, it also became significant to have a proper definition of the incident response strategy to prevent serious losses and disruptions. In this abstract key strategies of cybersecurity incident response that include preparation, detection, communication, eradication, recovery, and post-incident analysis are outlined. Preparation entails creating an incident response team and the creation of elaborate response plans. Detection is a process of recognizing and approving actual or potential security threats using the means of monitoring and intelligence. Containment is a process that seeks to prevent the further spread of the particular incident while the elimination is focused on countering the major source or threat. Business continuity focuses on returning to normal operations and normality while analysis of the aftermath enables an organisation to learn more about the effects of the attack and the best course of action when similar incidents occur. Through the proper measure of tackling incidents response, financial institutions can improve their ability to withstand cyber threats, lower operational disruption, and safeguard valuable financial information to maintain confidence of its clients and compliance with the relevant authorities.
