KION Group is a global material handling Equipment Company based in Germany. Forklift trucks and warehouse automation equipment are the company’s main products. KION Group needs to prepare for the prevailing computer incidents of today and tomorrow. An organization can assist in developing a computer incident response team (CIRT) plan for a number of computer-based safety incidents.

This assignment will discuss a CIRT plan, which is often used as a contingency plan for the KION Group. A system administrator noticed yesterday that several of the file servers at HQ were responding very slowly. The KION Group headquarters (HQ) handles all incidents so that the plan will have its roots at HQ.

Like the latest IBM Threat Intelligence Index, read a recent article to gather information on current threats and remember to leverage the BCP and DRP you generated for the organization last week.
