Maven Clinic Incident Response & Review (Practice Scenario)

Overview

This repository contains a Post-Incident Review Report for a simulated unusual network activity incident at Maven Clinic. The report follows the NIST Incident Response Process Framework, detailing the steps taken to handle and mitigate the incident in a practice scenario.

This scenario was part of a learning experience designed to simulate real-world cybersecurity challenges in a healthcare setting.

Key Sections:

• Incident Timeline: Detailed breakdown from detection to resolution with specific timestamps.
• Security Review: Analysis of what went right and areas for improvement.
• Systems & Services Impact: Highlighting which systems were affected and how services were impacted.
• Business Impact & Legal Implications: Evaluating potential financial and reputational risk, including HIPAA compliance.
• Communication Effectiveness: Internal and external communication strategies during the incident.
• Lessons Learned & Preventive Measures: Critical takeaways from the incident and future security investments.

Learning Experience

This report was created as part of the Clicked Incident Response and Review Mini Sprint (9/23/24), a hands-on learning experience where participants stepped into the role of cybersecurity professionals to practice managing and mitigating security incidents.

Learning Objectives:

• Use the NIST Incident Response Process to handle and mitigate simulated threats.
• Create comprehensive post-incident reports for stakeholders.
• Improve cybersecurity response strategies through lessons learned in a simulated environment.
