Cybersecurity teams must not only have the right tools to defend against cybercriminals, but also understand how to effectively respond if an attacker breaches their systems. This requires a comprehensive incident response plan, continuous training to respond to evolving threats, and utilising each security incident as a learning opportunity for future prevention.
