In many cases, small and medium businesses struggle to dedicate the resources necessary for response to cyberattacks and cybercrimes. In many cases, however, the ability to respond to hacks or other cyberthreats can make the difference between a company flourishing and going under.
According to an article on the EC-Council blog, as a result, companies may want to examine the importance of an incident response analyst, to help establish security protocols, investigate breaches and threats, and develop incident response plans, to mitigate the damage from any single incident.
With cyberthreats continuing to evolve, and breaches becoming more expensive, the actions of an incident response analyst can:
- Offer protection of company finances
- Reduce the risk of loss or exposure of critical data
- Increase confidence of customers in the security of their personal information
