Which type of plan directly addresses the identification, response, and recovery relevant to cyberattacks?
A continuity of operations plan (COOP)
An IT contingency plan
A business continuity plan (BCP)
An incident response plan (IRP)
The IRP determines the information security responses to incidents such as cyberattacks on systems and/or networks. This plan establishes procedures to enable security personnel to identify, mitigate and recover from malicious computer incidents such as unauthorized access to a system or data, denial of service (DoS) or unauthorized changes to system hardware or software. The IT contingency plan addresses IT system disruptions and establishes procedures for recovering from a major application or general support system. The contingency plan deals with ways to recover from an unexpected failure, but it does not address the identification or prevention of cyberattacks. The BCP addresses business processes and provides procedures for sustaining essential business operations while recovering from a significant disruption. While a cyberattack could be severe enough to require use of the BCP, the IRP would be used to determine which actions should be takenâboth to stop the attack as well as to resume normal operations after the attack. The COOP addresses the subset of an organization's missions that are deemed most critical and contains procedures to sustain these functions at an alternate site for a short time period.
