On December 22, 2016, the National Institute of Standards and Technology ("NIST") published the Guide for Cybersecurity Event Recovery to assist organizations in recovering from cybersecurity incidents. The guide consolidates existing NIST recovery guidance on incident handling and contingency planning and provides a process each organization can use to create its own comprehensive recovery plan. The publication supplies tactical and strategic guidance for developing, testing, and improving recovery plans, as well as examples of playbooks to handle data breaches and ransomware.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
