An effective executive summary for C-level executives should present a high-level overview of the incident, focusing on the impact, scope, and recommended actions without delving into overly technical details. The summary should emphasize the ‘Impact’ to the organization, including financial, reputational, or operational effects, key findings or takeaways, and ‘Recommended Actions’ that facilitate decision-making by highlighting immediate steps or strategic measures to address the incident. While including specific malware or attacker TTPs (Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures) may be essential for a technical briefing, executives typically need actionable intelligence relevant to business outcomes rather than technical specifics.
