What is Recovery?

Recovery is a critical aspect of incident response, and involves the restoration of normal operations and data access following a security incident. The goal of recovery is to restore affected systems or data to their previous state and ensure that the organization can resume normal operations as quickly as possible.

​

The recovery process typically involves several stages, including identifying affected systems or data, prioritizing recovery efforts, and developing a plan for restoring normal operations. This may involve restoring data from backups, rebuilding affected systems, or implementing additional security measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.

​

Once recovery measures have been implemented, the organization can resume normal operations and data access. However, it is important to conduct a thorough review of the incident to identify areas for improvement in the incident response process and ensure that the organization is better prepared to handle similar incidents in the future.

​

Finally, the organization may conduct a post-incident review to identify areas for improvement in the incident response process and ensure that the organization is better prepared to handle similar incidents in the future.

​

By conducting effective recovery measures, organizations can restore normal operations and data access following a security incident, and ensure that they are better prepared to handle similar incidents in the future. Recovery requires a deep understanding of technical systems, advanced problem-solving skills, and the ability to make rapid decisions in a high-pressure environment.
