Having an active and routinely updated crisis management plan is essential in an effort to mitigate losses. Crisis Management Plans provide reactionary measures to defend itself from unforeseen events, such as weather events (acts of God), cyber-attacks, fire drills, or an insider threat scenario. This plan helps clarify specific procedures that need to be executed to properly address the situation. However, for this plan to be effective it would require maximum participation from various stakeholders and key staff that oversee various departments. This could include the IT department, physical security, HR, logistics, etc…, as each department has a clear understanding of the limitations and the assessed damage that could occur from one of these entities suffering. Knowing your risks is crucial in developing a crisis management plan. However, this plan must remain flexible as operational procedures are likely to shift in the future that could be due to a variety of reasons. Additionally, by incorporating key personnel it will benefit the organization as a whole due to the setting of expectations and responsibility to ensure that risks are mitigated and properly logged.
In response to the group project, I personally am not a fan of group projects in an online setting. I think it limits collaboration as we all work in different time zones. However, I think our team is coping as best as it can, and communication is occurring. Separately, lone wolf attacks are hard to identify as they maintain a relatively low profile and aren’t attracting a lot of noise. The best method that could limit the impact of an attack is by establishing reactionary drills in the workplace. In the Marines, weapon familiarity is crucial to ensure that the user is comfortable in various scenarios with regards to weapon handling techniques. I believe that they same mentally has to set in the workplace, where civilians will not freeze in the moment but react soundly even under stress.
