Emergency Planning

Emergency Planning refers to the process of developing a comprehensive strategy and framework to respond to and recover from cyber incidents, such as data breaches, network outages, malware attacks, or system compromises. It involves creating predefined procedures, protocols, and resources to mitigate the impact of incidents, minimize downtime, and restore normal operations as quickly as possible
