Your company has suffered a major cyber attack, compromising critical business systems and causing significant operational disruption. As part of your recovery efforts, which of the following actions is most appropriate for ensuring the continued availability of essential business functions?
The correct action in this scenario is to activate the Business Continuity (BC) plan. The BC plan is designed to ensure that essential functions can continue during and after a disaster. This often includes strategies for resource allocation, alternate work sites, and communication protocols. Simply restoring data backups does not guarantee that all critical business functions will be immediately available, and a forensic investigation, while important, does not directly contribute to the immediate continuation of essential services. Performing root cause analysis is also vital for preventing future incidents but does not address the immediate need to maintain business operations.
