Book Description
Learn to identify a security incident and build a series of best practices to stop an attack before it creates serious consequences
Cybercriminals are always in search of new methods and ways to infiltrate systems. Quickly responding to an incident should help an organization minimize its losses,decrease vulnerabilities,and rebuild services and processes. An organization without knowledge of how to effectively implement key IR best practices is highly prone to cyber-attacks.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic,with most organizations gravitating towards remote working and cloud,this book provides updated IR processes to address the associated 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 this conceptual toolkit,with discussions on incident alerting,handling,investigation,recovery,and reporting.
As you progress through the book,you will cover governing IR on multiple platforms and sharing cyber threat intelligence. You will then thoroughly explore the entire spectrum of procedures involved in IR in the cloud – the challenges,opportunities,and how to handle a phishing incident.
Further,you’ll learn how to build a proactive incident readiness culture,learn and implement IR best practices,and explore practical case studies using tools from Keepnet Labs and Binalyze. Finally,the book concludes with an “Ask the Experts” section where 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.
