Key benefits

  • Discover Incident Response (IR), from its evolution to implementation
  • Understand cybersecurity essentials and IR best practices through real-world phishing incident scenarios
  • Explore the current challenges in IR through the perspectives of leading experts

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® 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 is this book 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.

What you will learn

  • Understand IR and its significance
  • Organize an IR team
  • Explore best practices for managing attack situations with your IR team
  • Form, organize, and operate a product security team to deal with product vulnerabilities and assess their severity
  • Organize all the entities involved in product security response
  • Respond to security vulnerabilities using tools developed by Keepnet Labs and Binalyze
  • Adapt all the above learnings for the cloud

I was lucky to receive a review copy of this book, and If you're looking for a better understanding of responding to security incidents in the cloud, read Dr. Ozkaya's "Incident Response in the Age of Cloud!" Dr. Ozkaya uses a step-by-step process, covering everything from key metrics for IR, to IR best practices. Not only are the methods based on the author's own experiences, included are inputs from other industry experts. A must read from incident responders, and easily a five star read.

Being an Incident Responder and working in different cloud environments brings on many challenges. This book lays out the techniques and best practices for timely and effective responses to cyber security incidents related to the cloud.It introduces the foundational principles of incident response such as defining it, planning, regulations, and components of incident response planning to get the reader prepared and have a better understanding of incident response.Incident response includes every level of Information Technology/Security and important pieces are included and explained in detail within this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone in the technology field. The cloud is the evolving transition of technology and transformation and must be learned and understood for everyone in technology, especially for incident responders.This book will be an important resource of information and guide for cyber security professionals. I enjoyed reading this book and gaining invaluable knowledge into responding and handling incidents in the cloud.

I have read many books on cybersecurity, and while I have found many to have some useful information Dr Erdal Ozkaya presents this information in a down to earth realistic matter which allows you to apply the principles which he outlines to real-world scenarios and derive immense and immediate value from this book. I would recommend this book to any cybersecurity professional and especially anyone interested in learning the fundamentals of incident response, there is not a more valuable resource you can find to learn from.

Very well organised, comprehensive and up-to-date incident response book. Not boring at all. And the last chapter, "Ask the Experts" was a superb bonus. It's not easy to find out such good articles. Well done.

This is the 2nd book I've read from this author and I've not been anything other than impressed by his work. This book starts out explaining the incident response process. It also shows the reader how an incident response team is comprised and operated. There are many different use cases that the author walks the reader step by step. He also utilizes real world scenarios to further show the complexity of this domain in cybersecurity.I highly recommend this book for readers who need a general understanding of what incident response is. It would be important for non-experienced readers to review this book from the beginning. More seasoned professionals can skip the fundamental material in the beginning of the book and start looking in the middle.

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.
