System Restoration: DRP includes procedures for system restoration, including restoring data, applications, and systems to a functional state following a catastrophic event.
Incident Response Planning: IRP involves creating a plan to respond to and mitigate the impact of a security incident, such as a cyberattack or data breach. The IRP plan should include procedures for incident detection, containment, investigation, and recovery.
Incident Detection: The first step in IRP is to detect the incident. This may involve the use of security technologies such as intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and SIEM tools.
Incident Containment: Once an incident is detected, the IRP plan should include procedures for containing the incident to prevent further damage. This may involve isolating affected systems and networks, and implementing temporary security controls.
Incident Investigation: The IRP plan should include procedures for investigating the incident to determine the root cause, the scope of the impact, and the extent of data loss or compromise.
Incident Recovery: The final step in IRP is to recover from the incident. This may involve restoring affected systems and data, implementing new security controls to prevent a recurrence, and conducting post-incident reviews and analysis.
Network Segmentation
Network segmentation is a security technique that involves dividing a larger network into smaller subnetworks, known as segments or zones. Each segment is isolated from the others using various security controls, such as firewalls, access controls, and intrusion detection systems. This helps to prevent unauthorized access and reduce the impact of a security breach by limiting the scope of the attack.
Risk Assessment: The first step in network segmentation is to conduct a risk assessment to identify the critical assets and systems that require protection. This includes identifying the types of data that are stored or transmitted across the network, as well as the potential threats and vulnerabilities.
Segmentation Design: The next step is to design the network segmentation plan, including the number and size of the segments, and the security controls that will be used to isolate them. The design should consider factors such as the network topology, the location of critical assets, and the potential attack vectors.
Access Controls: Access controls are used to restrict access between network segments, ensuring that only authorized users and devices can communicate. This may include using firewalls, virtual private networks (VPNs), and intrusion detection systems (IDS) to monitor and control traffic between segments.
VLANs: Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) are a common method of network segmentation that allows multiple networks to coexist on a single physical network. VLANs can be used to isolate specific groups of devices or users, such as different departments within an organization.
DMZ: A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is a separate network segment that is accessible from the internet, but isolated from the internal network. The DMZ is used to host publicly accessible servers, such as web servers, while keeping them separated from the internal network to prevent unauthorized access.
Network Monitoring: Network segmentation requires ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure that the security controls are functioning as intended. This includes monitoring network traffic, reviewing access logs, and updating security policies and controls as needed.
