A company experienced a security breach and its incident response team timely contained the threat. To improve future responses, the team plans to assess their performance. What is the BEST approach to gauge the efficiency of the incident's handling?
Conducting after-action reports
Enforcing regular security awareness training
Scheduling regular penetration testing
Increasing the frequency of vulnerability scans
Creating new security policies immediately after the incident
After-action reports provide a detailed review of the event, the effectiveness of the incident response, and identify areas for improvement. They are crucial for learning from both successes and shortcomings in order to enhance future security operations. In contrast, 'Vulnerability scans' are used more for identifying weaknesses before an incident, 'Penetration testing' is for proactive security assessments rather than post-incident analysis, 'Continuous monitoring' is a broad operational strategy not specifically aimed at evaluating a past incident response, and 'Security awareness training' and 'Creating new security policies' are more prescriptive actions rather than evaluative measures of an incident response.
