Picture a small agency that looks after a stack of client sites, every one running the same premium WordPress plugin, with updates switched on. On a Thursday afternoon, the agency's scheduled update job pulls the latest bu

Incident response is a method for dealing with various forms of security events, cyber threats, and data breaches in an organized manner. The goal of the incident response approach is to identify, contain, eradicate, and reduce the cost of a cyberattack or live event.
