Monitoring and Responding to Security Events or Incidents

2. Monitoring and Responding to Security Events or Incidents

Security monitoring in Information and Cybersecurity Division mainly focuses on ensuring that information gathered and collected from the Security Operations Center and other reporting parties are identified and evaluated for relevancy, documented, and escalated. As the Security Monitoring Unit identifies and evaluates information gathered for relevance, security events are documented and escalated as needed. This whole process is summed up into four major stages: Detection, Collection, Assessment and Decision, and lastly, Reporting and Escalation. 

Incident response is a term used to describe the process by which an organization handles a data breach or cyberattack, including the way the organization attempts to manage the consequences of the attack or breach (the “incident”). Ultimately, the goal is to effectively manage the incident so that the damage is limited and both recovery time and costs, as well as collateral damage such as brand reputation, are kept at a minimum. This process covers the procedure of the Incident Response Unit’s response to reported violations of Republic Act No. 10173, known as the “Data Privacy Act of 2012” and other pertinent laws and standards about information security, incident response, and cybersecurity.
