In today’s world managing data security is becoming a challenge especially in a Hybrid cloud environment where the critical information is not confined to an organization’s secure data center but is spread across multiple environments including one or many private or public clouds. Organizations are spending a good portion of their IT budget in order to build a secure environment so that they can protect their critical data getting into the wrong hands but the fact is we still hear major data security breaches every now and then. It is necessary to have all the tools in place to protect your network and systems but it is equally important to have a documented and working procedure in place on how an organization will act in case a security breach has been detected. The primary objective of this paper is to help the Infrastructure management teams to acknowledge a security incident quickly and what they should do when a data breach is declared with some examples and possible remediation.
