RS.AN-03.322
Does your incident response process include identification and analysis of vulnerabilities, threats, and threat actors involved in security incidents?
Explanation
This question assesses whether your organization systematically identifies the root causes and contributing factors of security incidents, including technical vulnerabilities exploited, threat types, and potential threat actors. A comprehensive incident analysis helps prevent similar incidents in the future by addressing specific weaknesses and understanding attack patterns and motivations. Evidence could include incident response documentation templates with dedicated sections for vulnerability, threat, and threat actor analysis; completed incident reports showing this analysis; or a formal incident response procedure document that explicitly includes these analysis requirements as mandatory steps.
Implementation Example
Attempt to determine what vulnerabilities, threats, and threat actors were directly or indirectly involved in the incident
