challenges specific to the Indian cyberspace.
The paper outlines the phases of incident response and provides recommendations for organizations to
devise a comprehensive cyber incident response strategy. It ingeminates the challenges faced by IT security teams in managing the multitude of cybersecurity technologies. The complexity of multiple
