FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Incident Response
In a virtual cybersecurity situation room, team members can collaborate on investigations to detect threats faster, accelerate response and even anticipate what the future may hold.
It is important for threat intelligence analysts, SOCs and incident responders to work together to take the right actions faster, reducing the time to response and remediation.
The industry needs to share a common understanding of how to put threat intelligence into practice to address some of our thorniest security operations challenges.
More vulnerabilities create more attacks; more attacks breed additional fatigue. So how can we wake up and fix the problems creating such a widespread headache?
Discussions around hacking back in Congress today rely on analogies that are too simple and use examples focused on physical self-defense that fail to capture the true nature of online interactions.
It isn’t sufficient for security teams to prevent, detect and respond to attacks. Security teams also must be able to proactively investigate and understand what the latest, large-scale cyber campaign means to their organization.
When we look at this cycle of stealthy and silent data breaches, we have to ask ourselves: how can such tremendous amounts of data leave our corporate networks without raising any alarms?
Security teams need visibility outside the organization and across the widest range of data sources possible to mitigate digital risk and better protect the organization.
Identifying those kinds of repeated non-malicious behaviors amongst a group of peers can help identify broken business processes that are requiring employees to violate policy in order to do their job.
Post-incident activity is the often-neglected phase where organizations try to answer the questions of what happened, why, and how can we make sure it doesn’t happen again?
