Welcome to the second domain of the Certified in
Cybersecurity Certification course.
This domain is entitled Business Continuity,
Disaster Recovery, and Incident Response.
These three elements make up the business continuity management system and
are crucial to helping organizations prepare for and manage the many
problems and challenges that all organizations face.
This domain represents 10% of the examination content,
which makes it the lowest weighted domain in the exam.
Consider this to be a free 10% in the exam.
We'll cover these topics in a way that makes them logical and
understandable so you're well prepared for the exam questions.
This domain is divided into three sections,
incident response, business continuity, and disaster recovery.
Bad things happen.
Every organization must be prepared to face adversity and unexpected problems.
Power outages, hacking employee errors, storms,
and equipment failures are some of the many types of incidents that
can and do affect business mission and operations.
The secret to managing a crisis is to be prepared,
have a plan, in fact, many plans,
different plans to deal with different types of incidents.
Most incidents can be resolved quickly allowing the
resumption of normal business activity,
but sometimes an incident requires a more detailed response,
a business continuity plan to enable the continuation of critical business
processes. And a severe crisis may require a disaster recovery plan to
rebuild services at perhaps another location.
These plans work together to ensure life safety,
always the first priority,
and the identification and containment of the incident and the
ability to return to normal as quickly as possible.
I hope you enjoy this domain.
Let's get started with incident response.
