New records are being set regarding data breaches
and the sheer number of cyber-attacks on
businesses, governments, and individuals. The
sophistication of threats has also increased due
to the use of emerging technologies like Machine
Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and 5G and
greater tactical coordination among hacker groups
and state actors. The quicker your organization
can detect and respond to a data breach or even a
security incident, the less likely it is to
severely impact your data, consumer trust,
reputation, and revenue. The aftermath of an IT
security breach or failure is managed through
incident response. Before an incident occurs, it
is essential to have a response strategy to limit
the amount of damage caused by the event and save
recovery time and costs for your company. It
includes creating a proactive incident response
plan, testing for and resolving system
vulnerabilities, adhering to strong security best
practices, and providing all incident response
measures. This article will cover the fourth
domain of SSCP Incident Response and Recovery,
and what you can expect in the SSCP exam from
this domain.

forensic investigations, identify, collect, and
acquire evidence, inspect and analyze the
evidence, and present the results. Candidates for
the SSCP should be familiar with the various
phases of forensic investigations, comprehend
them, study them, and know them in order. It will
