Cyber Plan Writing & Developing Cyber Playbooks

At its core, a playbook is a checklist of actions. In the context of cybersecurity, a cyber playbook outlines the steps to take during a cyber incident.

However, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach to responding to a cyber-attack. Decisions must be made in real-time, based on the specific circumstances of the incident. 

This is where having a cyber contingency plan becomes invaluable. Such a plan allows for a flexible response, recognising that scenarios and impacts may not unfold as anticipated. Therefore, it’s crucial to adapt parts of the response on the day of the incident, to match the unique situation as it evolves.

To support your preparedness, PlanB will guide you in creating a cyber contingency plan/playbook. To validate this plan/playbook, PlanB will develop a practical exercise that simulates a “real-life scenario,”. This will ensure your team has the confidence and knowledge to effectively respond to an attack and work through the plan/playbook when disaster strikes.
