What are cyber security incidents?

Cyber security incidents, particularly serious cyber security attacks, such as those posed by advanced persistent threats (APTs), are in the media every day. These incidents can seriously debilitate organisations of all types and sizes, including government and international bodies. The response to these incidents must be fast and conducted by experts who understand how to identify, investigate, contain and eradicate the problem.
