Incident Responder
Incident Responder – Cyber Attacks Ka First Line of Defense
Incident responders security breaches ka real-time me response dete hain, taki damage ko minimize kiya ja sake. Unka kaam sirf attack hone ke baad react karna nahi hota, balki plans, policies aur protocols create karna bhi hota hai, jo incident ke dauraan aur baad me follow kiye ja sakein.
Ye role high-pressure hota hai kyunki attacks real-time unfold hote hain, aur immediate response dena padta hai. Incident response metrics jaise MTTD (Mean Time to Detect), MTTA (Mean Time to Acknowledge), aur MTTR (Mean Time to Recover) ko optimize karna incident responders ka goal hota hai.
Unka ultimate mission hota hai company ka data, reputation aur financial stability cyber attacks se bachana.
Responsibilities (Zimmedariyan)
🔹 Incident Response Plan Banana – Ek strong, actionable incident response plan develop karna.
🔹 Security Best Practices Maintain Karna – Strong security practices ko implement karna aur incident response measures ko support karna.
