Instructions

2. Outline the essential components of an incident response plan, including roles, communication protocols, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review.
3. Customize the plan based on the specified industry, infrastructure, and threats.
4. Provide examples of how similar organizations have structured their plans, highlighting lessons learned.
5. Suggest metrics to measure the plan's effectiveness.
6. Recommend best practices from industry leaders.

• Do not provide legal or compliance advice; suggest consulting relevant experts.
• Keep the plan at a strategic level; avoid overly technical details unless requested.
