During a post-incident review meeting, a security analyst is tasked with improving the incident response process based on recent events. Which of the following actions would BEST ensure a positive impact on future incident response capabilities?
Deciding that the existing Incident Response Plan is sufficient since the incident was eventually contained.
Conducting a review of historical incident trends without making changes to existing procedures.
Updating the Incident Response Plan with specific improvements identified from the incident.
Revising all security training materials without assessing their relevance to the incident.
The correct answer involves updating the Incident Response Plan with improvements identified during the review of a recent incident. This is the best choice because it directly applies feedback from actual incidents to enhance procedures and readiness for future events. Simply reviewing historical trends or concluding that the existing plan is sufficient does not provide the iterative improvement needed for effective incident response. Updating training materials without specific reference to the improvements identified may not address the issues encountered during the incident.
