Cyber Incidents Handling Exercise was organized by Cyber Security Zone under the initiative Cyber Security of Pakistan and headed by Cyber Security Expert Muhammad Asad Ul Rehman. IT Experts from various Government and Private Departments participated and discussed their cyber-related issues. The Purpose of Exercise was to prepare them how to instantly response and mitigate the cyber incidents.
Cyber-attacks are steadily increasing year by year. Organizations are constantly under threat with over two-thirds experiencing data breaches. Consequently, cyber security preparedness and resiliency are becoming increasingly important to the protection of an organization’s information. One way of improving the ability to handle cyber-attacks is by conducting cyber security exercises. Cyber security exercises are simulations or tests of some nature, based on a cyber-attack scenario. They test the organization’s ability to detect, investigate and respond to cyber-attacks in a timely, effective and secure manner. The results of a cyber security exercise could help the organization to identify the areas of improvement in their technology and technical staff.
