Book Description:
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(R) 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.

Who this book is for:
This book is aimed at first-time incident responders, cybersecurity
enthusiasts who want to get into IR, and anyone who is responsible for
maintaining business security. It will also interest CIOs, CISOs, and
members of IR, SOC, and CSIRT teams. However, IR is not just about
information technology or security teams, and anyone with a legal, HR,
media, or other active business role would benefit from this book. The
book assumes you have some admin experience. No prior DFIR experience is
required. Some infosec knowledge will be a plus but isn't mandatory.
