U.S. companies suffered an average of 160 successful cyber attacks per week in 2015, up from the average of 50 per week in 2010. The average cost of a typical breach is $5.4 million in the U.S. The legal, regulatory, financial, and reputational risks posed by cyber attacks are critical, and no organization is immune to these cyber challenges.

Organizations need to be dynamic and adaptable while building an Incident Response plan. Having a robust incident response plan in place can enable your organization to act quickly in case of such an incident.
