“The decision not to is a senior-level risk decision, and should be considered in the wider context of organisational risk management policy and practice.”

Containing access
“In the real world, great technology and technical capabilities may still not make for a great response if the right people, with appropriate skills are not in place.”
NCSCIncident management collection
Verifying the fix
“If updating to the latest version of the affected software doesn’t fix the reported vulnerability or misconfiguration, or there isn’t an update to address the issue yet, you will need a process to triage and prioritise.”
