Learn to identify a security incident and build a series of best practices to stop a cyberattack before it creates serious consequences

Key Features

Book Description

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.

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, with most organizations gravitating towards remote working and cloud computing, 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.

Further, you will cover governing IR on multiple platforms and sharing cyber threat intelligence, and the procedures involved in IR in the cloud – the challenges, opportunities, and how to secure your cloud environments. 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.
