Description

An understanding of how digital forensics integrates with the overall response to cybersecurity incidents is key to securing your organization’s infrastructure from attacks. This updated third edition will help you perform cutting-edge digital forensic activities and incident response with a new focus on responding to ransomware attacks. After covering the fundamentals of incident response that are critical to any information security team, you’ll explore incident response frameworks. From understanding their importance to creating a swift and effective response to security incidents, the book will guide you using examples. Later, you’ll cover digital forensic techniques, from acquiring evidence and examining volatile memory through to hard drive examination and network-based evidence. You’ll be able to apply these techniques to the current threat of ransomware. As you progress, you’ll discover the role that threat intelligence plays in the incident response process. You’ll also learn how to prepare an incident response report that documents the findings of your analysis. Finally, in addition to various incident response activities, the book will address malware analysis and demonstrate how you can proactively use your digital forensic skills in threat hunting. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to investigate and report unwanted security breaches and incidents in your organization.

I was asked to review Gerard Johansen's 3rd edition of the book Digital Forensics and Incident Response that was published in 2022. This is a high level review and should not be seen as a thorough readthrough of the book. Of note, I was provided a free digital copy for review purposes. So let's get into it!The foundations of the beginning chapters really break down the incident response lifecycle from start to finish. I really liked the breakdown of the responsible parties for an IR case, even showing nontechnical stakeholders having a part in it all.A lot of the IR side of the house is foreign to me as that's not what I do on a daily basis but it's good to get understanding of how I as a forensics analyst can work with the other side of the house in times of need during an incident.I'm a sucker for hardware and software so I'm glad to see plenty of tools listed with examples of usage. I'm always looking for new software to add to the toolkit and a saw a few that I've never utilized before so I look forward to testing further. I just wonder how many of these tools discussed are now outdated or have newer versions (This came out in 2022 and I'm only now being provided access)? With the ever rapid changes happening in DFIR I can only hope the general techniques still apply. I do think the inclusion of free tools is fantastic as too many examiner's complain that they can't do anything without buying commercial tools.I'm glad there was a focus on the actual report writing section of the case lifecycle. This is the hardest part to sometimes nail down in a book and it felt like this book did it justice to a degree.The book covers a vast majority of the DFIR spectrum, even including some chapters on Threat Intelligence and Threat Hunting. The mobile device nerd in me wished it would have been briefly discussed but I guess there are plenty of other books that already have that covered. Overall, I'd recommend this book to those trying to get into the field and for those that want to continue to further their knowledge. I look forward to diver deeper into the pages and see what I can learn an add to my arsenal as forensic analyst.

This book provides a great knowledge base for the DFIR professional. It is organized and well thought out. Myself being in the DFIR area, can attest to the accuracy and mindset of the author connecting to the DFIR audience. I will be using this book as a foundational reference guide for years to come during my cyber security career. This book is a must have and I am sure you will enjoy it!

I'm still finding my way on the cybersecurity journey and I often turn to these books to help fill in the holes where I'm still lacking experience. This is a solid book to add to your collection especially if you have your own home lab of sorts to play around with and test some of the mentioned software.It really helped me understand Volatility more for memory forensics.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published.
