Abstract: It seems like every few weeks there is a report of a new data incident having taken place: recent high-profile examples include FedEx (February 2018), Under Armour/MyFitnessPal (March 2018), Panera Bread (April 2018), Adidas (June 2018), MyHeritage (June 2018), Macy’s (July 2018), Timehop (July 2018), Reddit (August 2018) and T-Mobile (August 2018), just to name a few. So, what should organisations do in relation to cybersecurity incidents? More specifically, what can happen when the board or senior management is not appropriately engaged nor response plans properly practiced or otherwise followed? What can we learn from previous security incidents that have taken place? This paper examines some real-world cases of what can happen following a security incident.
