Who cares about unique identifiers?
Almost everyone has been on the receiving end of a request to provide photo identification (most commonly a drivers’ licence or a passport) when applying for a bank account, or purchasing a new mobile phone, or some similar account-based transaction. The person making the request typically either writes down the details of the document or photocopies it. But there is one piece of information that should not be captured unless there is a legitimate reason to – the unique identifier.
SEI Incident Handling Training
It is too late to start figuring out what to do when a cyber security incident occurs. If your organisation has not thought about how to identify a significant incident, who needs to be involved and what steps it needs to take to resolve the incident then it is likely to struggle to bring the incident to a timely resolution.
