As John Chambers famously said, “There are only two types of organizations: those that have been hacked and those that don’t know it yet.” If breaches are virtually inevitable, the best way to reduce their impact and cost is with an incident response (IR) plan and a team trained to implement it.

It’s often centered on IT and may reference user experience (UX) and organizational priorities only when the project is assigned and handed off. That can lead to a result that doesn’t align with goals and is often difficult to scale or improve without starting over.
