Incident Response Process

In the last chapter, you learned about the three pillars that sustained your security posture, and two of them (detection and response) are directly correlated with the Incident Response (IR) process. To enhance the foundation of your security posture, you need to have a solid incident response process. This process will dictate how to handle security incidents and rapidly respond to them. Many companies do have an incident response process in place, but they fail to constantly review it to incorporate lessons learned from previous incidents, and on top of that, many are not prepared to handle security incidents in a cloud environment.

In this chapter, we're going to be covering the following topics:

The incident response process
Handling an incident
Post-incident activity

Key benefits

Gain a clear understanding of the attack methods, and patterns to recognize abnormal behavior within your organization with Blue Team tactics

Learn to unique techniques to gather exploitation intelligence, identify risk and demonstrate impact with Red Team and Blue Team strategies

A practical guide that will give you hands-on experience to mitigate risks and prevent attackers from infiltrating your system

Description

The book will start talking about the security posture before moving to Red Team tactics, where you will learn the basic syntax for the Windows and Linux tools that are commonly used to perform the necessary operations. You will also gain hands-on experience of using new Red Team techniques with powerful tools such as python and PowerShell, which will enable you to discover vulnerabilities in your system and how to exploit them. Moving on, you will learn how a system is usually compromised by adversaries, and how they hack user's identity, and the various tools used by the Red Team to find vulnerabilities in a system. In the next section, you will learn about the defense strategies followed by the Blue Team to enhance the overall security of a system. You will also learn about an in-depth strategy to ensure that there are security controls in each network layer, and how you can carry out the recovery process of a compromised system. Finally, you will learn how to create a vulnerability management strategy and the different techniques for manual log analysis.

In the last days of my research on a special topic on cybersecurity, I have discovered a book which was published just in January in 2018. The book title is "Cybersecurity Attack and Defense Strategies" by Erdal Ozkaya and Yuri Diogenes. This book talks about cybersecurity threats, attacks, incident respnse procedure, gives detailed information about attack scenarios and each stage of attacks, and also covers security policy topics. On the other hand, the technical language of the book is very understandable with full of examples and good structure. This book was very useful for my research and punlishing my paper and will be very helpful to pass my international certificate exam on Incident Response. I recommend this book to all incident responders, penetration testers, network and system security engineers and others who are interested in deep technical topics on cyber security, or willing to start their career in this field.

Good for enhancing your knowledge if you’re in the security industry.

Once I picked the book up, I could barely put it down. It really is a highly readable cyber reference for beginners and intermediate level technology professionals. I find it to be an excellent introduction to several aspects of cybersecurity. The authors provide many helpful diagrams and explain what is going on in simple structured terms. I particularly enjoyed the red/blue contrasts for every use case. Its usually quite easy to find out about defensive postures, but to see so many attack strategies laid out in such a systematic way is quite refreshing.

I found this to be a very good book on Cybersecurity. This book is very readable and one that I will likely refer back to often. The authors provide excellent resources, tools and websites to refer to for further study.
