Beazley, Navigant Release Information Security Incident Response Guide
April 22 2014 - 8:37AM
Today, Beazley, the pioneer in breach response insurance, and
Navigant (NYSE:NCI), a leading provider of complex data management,
data analysis and forensic investigative services, announced a
joint Information Security Incident Response Guide to provide a
roadmap for companies to prepare for and manage the aftermath of a
data security breach. The guide, which will be available to Beazley
Breach Response (BBR) policyholders, addresses the increasing need
for effective risk management on the part of companies hoping to
limit the damage caused by a data breach. Both Beazley and Navigant
have seen an uptick in clients' malware intrusions, social
engineering attacks, unauthorized network access, lost or stolen
devices and other data security breaches. The Information Security
Incident Response Guide addresses these and other common
information security incidents, while highlighting the varied
components of an effective response by providing in-depth case
studies and best practices for preparation, risk assessment, and
incident documentation. "When hit with a security attack most
organizations are surprised. They are thrown into reactive crisis
mode and don't know what to do. A breach isn't always a
disaster. Mishandling it is," said Katherine Keefe, head of
BBR Services, the dedicated business unit established by Beazley to
help clients handle data breaches successfully. "We partnered with
Navigant to put the Information Security Incident Response Guide
into the hands of our policyholders to make them aware of security
threats and to better prepare for them." As the number of
high-profile data breaches has risen, companies in every industry
have found themselves scrambling to respond to an attack.
"Organizations today are facing a multitude of challenges related
to consumer, employee and partner data protection," said Steve
Visser, Managing Director in Navigant's Disputes &
Investigations practice. "Our Information Security Incident
Response Guide offers a roadmap to help clients address these
challenges and effectively move forward." Faced with a
quickly-evolving breach, companies often neglect to document and
collect evidence in real time, or may even damage or ruin forensics
evidence, hampering the investigation and leaving them vulnerable
to future attacks. The guide provides recommendations for
setting an accurate incident timeline and chain of custody to help
prevent the omission or destruction of forensics evidence. In
addition to outlining potential data breach events, the guide
provides important questions for company officials to ask and
answer when investigating a breach. It also identifies common
containment tasks, evidence sources, and preservation techniques.
Preparation is an important component as well. The guide contains
examples of information security incident reports used to log cases
and response contact lists used to store contact information of key
partners. A summary of policies and programs recommended to
implement company-wide focuses on equipping employees with data
security training and knowledge. "We not only help our customers
investigate and respond to data breaches," said Keefe. "As this
guide illustrates, we also strengthen their defenses because
prevention is better than cure."
