Cyber incident response by Erdal

Anyone can be hacked. It is just a matter of time. Even the right technology, e.g. the best firewall or anti-virus application, can fall short of protecting your system against cyber-attacks since cybercriminals are always in search of finding new methods and ways to infiltrate into systems. Responding to an incident quickly will help an organization to minimise its losses, decrease vulnerabilities, rebuild services and processes. Therefore, at this very moment, it is significant to know the best practices to respond to a successful cyber attack.

Organization’s should have skilled employees and sophisticated tools to identify the threats or to respond and eliminate them. Without knowing the best practices of an incident response process, the organization will be an easy target for cybercriminals and be vulnerable to a cyber attack.

This book will be a guideline for organizations on how to address and manage the aftermath of a cyber attack, and how to control the cybersecurity breach in a way that decreases damage, recovery time and costs.

About this book

Cybercriminals are always in search of new methods to infiltrate systems. Quickly responding to an incident will help organizations minimize losses, decrease vulnerabilities, and rebuild services and processes.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with most organizations gravitating towards remote working and cloud computing, this book uses frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK® and the SANS IR model to assess security risks.

The book begins by introducing you to the cybersecurity landscape and explaining why IR matters. You will understand the evolution of IR, current challenges, key metrics, and the composition of an IR team, along with an array of methods and tools used in an effective IR process. You will then learn how to apply these strategies, with discussions on incident alerting, handling, investigation, recovery, and reporting.

Further, you will cover governing IR on multiple platforms and sharing cyber threat intelligence and the procedures involved in IR in the cloud. Finally, the book concludes with an “Ask the Experts” chapter wherein industry experts have provided their perspective on diverse topics in the IR sphere.

By the end of this book, you should become proficient at building and applying IR strategies pre-emptively and confidently.

TARGET AUDIENCE

The book targets programmers, system administrators and all levels of users who deal with security of an organisation (IT, SOC, CSIRT or other teams). Our book will help them to identify a security incident, to build a series of best practices to stop an attack before it creates serious consequences.

  1. What is an Incident Response and Why it is important
  2. How to organize an incident response (IR) team
  3. Best practices for managing attack situations with your IR team

  5. How to organize all the entities involved in product security response
