FEATURES, INSIGHTS // Incident Response
As a security professional, wouldn’t it be great to be able to focus on one thing at a time and know you’re focused on the right things to protect the organization?
Most organizations have more intelligence than they know what to do with. What’s lacking is a way to aggregate all this data in one manageable location where it can be translated into a uniform format for analysis and action.
In the event of a cybersecurity incident in an industrial environment, you should follow a well-established seven step response process.
How do we break this wasteful cycle and enable teams and technologies to reduce instances of false positives? The answer lies in prioritization and learning.
By highlighting phishing, which causes so many headaches for all us security professionals, you can see just how much of a game-changer automation can be for any SOC or CSIRT.
Adversaries are increasingly masterful at taking advantage of these seams between technologies and teams to infiltrate organizations and remain below the radar.
There’s no point in having billions of data points if those data points aren’t timely, accurate, actionable, and adequately map to your intelligence objectives and requirements.
Like dog bites, the negative impact of cyber incidents can go from bad to worse quickly—and the first 48 hours are critical.
Evaluating a threat intelligence vendor’s collection strategy effectively is a complex process that requires far more than simply obtaining the answers to the questions outlined above.
These seven processes should be automated in order to save valuable time during incident response and security investigation procedures, and help organizations improve their overall cybersecurity posture.
