ABSTRACT
Responding to cybersecurity incidents during the COVID-19 pandemic was peculiar as it typically required an approach most suitable for the moment. Chapter six highlights the defense in-depth approach as an appropriate option widely adopted for the scope and sophistication of COVID-19-related threats and security risks that targeted vulnerable computer systems and networks; an approach that combined administrative, physical, and technical countermeasures. The chapter highlights the simultaneous applications of preventive, detective, responsive, corrective, and deterrent controls to mitigate cyberattacks during the pandemic.
