Abstract

This findings examines the implementation of incident response planning and procedures in internet security, focusing on their effectiveness in tone down cyber threats. The research investigates the role of practice directions in guiding incident response processes, from threat detection to recovery. Data were collected from primary sources including industry standards, incident reports and secondary sources such as scholarly articles and books. The findings indicate that practice directions serve as essential guidelines for incident response teams, aiding in the efficient handling of security incidents. However, further analysis reveals areas where improvements are needed to address emerging challenges, particularly in legal and administrative domains. This study highlights the importance of continuously refining incident response strategies to sustain organizational resistance against evolving cyber threats
