When a security breach is suspected, which individual or group should be notified FIRST to effectively manage communication and ensure proper incident handling?
The correct answer is the Security Team. In the event of a suspected breach, the first action is to alert the individuals directly responsible for managing and investigating security incidents. This usually includes the security team or the incident response team, who have the skills and procedures in place to assess the situation, contain the threat, and take appropriate measures. While executive management, HR, and legal may eventually need to be involved, immediate notification to the security team allows for the fastest response to potential threats.
