Preface

Anyone can be hacked. It is just a matter of time. Cybercriminals are always in search of finding new methods and ways to infiltrate into systems, so even the right technology can fall short of protecting your system against cyber-attacks. Responding to an incident quickly will help an organization minimize its losses, decrease vulnerabilities, and rebuild services and processes.

With international scrutiny on data breaches and escalating cyberattacks in recent years, effective incident response has become a critical business function. Now with the rapid migration to remote work due to COVID-19, we are experiencing yet another change in how organizations operate—going cloud first—and the associated security risks the new setup brings along.

This book is a comprehensive guide for organizations on how to prepare for cyber attacks, control cybersecurity breaches in a way that decreases damage, recovery time, and costs, and adapt existing strategies to cloud-based environments.
