System Recovery
System recovery is the process of restoring computer systems, data, and services to a normal operational state after a security incident, such as a cyberattack or system failure. It involves repairing damage, removing threats, and validating functionality.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
System Recovery, a critical phase in Cybersecurity Incident Response, is the systematic process of restoring compromised IT infrastructure, data, applications, and network services to a secure, pre-incident, or improved operational baseline, typically following containment and eradication, often leveraging backups and applying vulnerability remediation.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
