8.1 Incident Response<br />

The State <strong>of</strong> Kansas requires that a Security Incident Response capability be developed<br />

and implemented for all information systems that house or access State controlled<br />

information.<br />

Incident response capabilities are used to monitor for security incidents, determine<br />

the magnitude <strong>of</strong> the threat presented by these incidents, and to respond to these<br />

incidents. Without an incident response capability the potential exists that, in the<br />

event that a security incident occurs, it will go unnoticed and the magnitude <strong>of</strong> harm<br />

associated with the incident will be significantly greater than if the incident were<br />

noted and corrected.<br />

The incident response capability will include a defined plan and will address the<br />

following stages <strong>of</strong> incident response:<br />

• Preparation<br />

• Detection<br />

• Analysis<br />

• Containment<br />

• Eradication<br />

• Recovery<br />

• Post-Incident Activity<br />

Further, the State requires the use <strong>of</strong> automated tools, or a dedicated incident<br />

response management process, to aid in incident response operations. These tools<br />

must have the ability to capture incident response information, alert appropriate<br />

personnel, and provide reporting on the details <strong>of</strong> any incidents that occur.<br />

All incidents will be logged and tracked in the incident response management system<br />

and the existence and nature <strong>of</strong> the incidents will be reported to the State <strong>of</strong> Kansas’<br />

Chief Information Security Officer.<br />

To facilitate incident response operations, each agency will be required to assign<br />

responsibility for incident handling operations to an incident response team. In the<br />
