In this lesson, students will learn about the importance of incident response and disaster recovery in the field of cyber security. Incident response involves preparing for, responding to, and recovering from security incidents such as breaches or attacks. It is crucial for organizations to have a well-defined incident response plan in place to minimize damage and prevent future incidents.

Disaster recovery, on the other hand, focuses on the process of restoring data and IT systems after a catastrophic event such as a natural disaster or a large-scale cyber attack. Students will explore the key components of an effective disaster recovery plan, including data backup and recovery procedures, testing strategies, and communication protocols. By understanding these concepts, students will be able to play a critical role in ensuring the resilience and security of organizations.
