Presented as a webinar on October 15, 2009.
The first 48 hours after a computer security breach occurs are critical for a victim organization. You need to determine how to address technical remediation issues, evaluate the need for outside counsel, assess what regulatory compliance requirements may apply and decide who needs to be involved within and outside your organization.
During this session, MANDIANT consultants shared the insights they have gained through working with commercial and government entities to manage these issues and achieve the best possible outcomes for their incidents.
