FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Incident Response
Agile software and application development add a layer of abstraction and complexity that modern security tools are simply unable to secure.
Like big game hunting, cyber threat hunting is not easy and requires a unique mix of hard-earned skills and intelligence.
The Reddit data breach illustrates the importance of rolling out an approach designed to verify the user, validate their device, limit access and privilege, and learn and adapt to new risks.
Security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) tools are increasingly effective for some of today’s most pressing security problems, which has led to growing demand across enterprise organizations.
The human element will always remain vital in security operations, but automation will allow us to move through processes faster for better decisions and accelerated action.
We’ve seen an evolution from more traditional simulation exercises that use a Red Team to identify vulnerabilities and launch mock attacks and a Blue Team to detect and respond to attacks, to Purple Teaming exercises.
Adding automation to the incident response process requires consideration of the possible threat vectors and the associated actions necessary to respond to those vectors.
Boards used to care only about one thing - that your company didn't get breached on their watch. Those days, sadly, are behind us.
Automating threat intelligence prioritization also allows you to proactively deploy the right intelligence to the right tools with greater speed and confidence.
