โœ… Avoid public Wi-Fi for sensitive transactions
โœ… Use secure websites (https://)

Your data is your responsibility. Donโ€™t let cybercriminals stand in the middle.

๐Ÿ” What is Critical Information Infrastructure (CII)?

Some digital systems are so essential to national life that their disruption could cripple healthcare, banking, energy, transport, or public safety.
These systems are classified as Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) - and they power the heartbeat of Ghana.

๐Ÿ“Œ When protected, Ghana is safe.
๐Ÿ“Œ When compromised, the risks are national.

Thatโ€™s why the Cyber Security Authority works tirelessly to secure them.

Please report any cybercrime or cybersecurity incident to the Cyber Security Authority through these channels.

๐Ÿ” What is a Cybersecurity Playbook?

In the world of cybersecurity, speed and precision are everything. Thatโ€™s where playbooks come in.

A playbook is a detailed set of automated or manual response procedures that guide security teams on how to detect, analyze, and respond to specific cyber threats. Think of it as a step-by-step guide to handle incidents effectively, just like a football team uses strategies to win games. ๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿง 

They help:
โœ… Reduce response time
โœ… Eliminate guesswork during incidents
โœ… Ensure consistency across security operations
โœ… Empower even junior analysts to handle complex threats

๐Ÿ“š Types of Cybersecurity Playbooks

๐Ÿ”ธ Incident Response Playbooks
Guide teams through events like malware infections, phishing attacks, or ransomware outbreaks.

๐Ÿ”ธ Threat Hunting Playbooks
Used proactively to detect unknown or hidden threats across the network.

๐Ÿ”ธ Compliance Playbooks
Ensure organizations meet security standards like ISO 27001, NIST, or GDPR.

๐Ÿ”ธ Security Automation Playbooks
Automate repetitive tasks using SOAR platforms (like Cortex XSOAR, Splunk SOAR, etc.) to improve efficiency.

๐Ÿ”ธ Cloud Security Playbooks
Help secure environments in AWS, Azure, or GCP from misconfigurations, breaches, and account hijacking.

๐Ÿ“Œ Whether you're a SOC analyst, threat hunter, or cloud engineer, mastering playbooks is essential for building a resilient cybersecurity posture.
