Just a quick note to remind you that now is a good time to double check the on-call, vacation and coverage schedules for your infosec team members, all of the key members of your incident response team and the critical managers and department liaisons. It’s a good time to review and update your contact lists for these folks and to identify anyone who might be unavailable during the holidays double check that you have a secondary contact.

While we certainly hope that your team doesn’t have to respond to an incident during the holidays, it is not unheard of. So, a few moments of careful attention now, may save you some stress during an already stressful period.

Thanks for reading, have a great holiday season and stay safe out there!
