Inside Incident Response: Turning Chaos into Cohesive Teamwork

Our latest episode brings in security expert Iain Pye, who shares military tales with me, your host James Rees, about what really happens when everything goes wrong. We get stuck into the nitty-gritty of incident response - the sleepless nights, the pressure from executives, and how to keep your team going when they're running on fumes.

Using Metadata for Incident Response to Strengthen Your Security Strategy

Effective incident response is a top priority for organizations to minimize the impact of cyber threats. Quick detection and response to attacks or threats are crucial for securing the network and the organization’s overall cybersecurity posture. Incident response planning typically includes identifying, investigating, containing, eradicating, recovering, and analyzing the attack to prevent future breaches. The response times directly affect how swiftly and effectively a breach can be mitigated.

Using MITRE ATT&CK for Incident Response Playbooks

A structured approach to incident response enables you to create consistently repeatable processes. Your incident response playbook defines responsibilities and guides your security team through a list of activities to reduce uncertainty if or when an incident occurs. MITRE ATT&CK Framework outlines the tactics and techniques that threat actors use during different stages of an attack.

Active Directory Incident Response: Key Things to Keep in Mind

Active Directory (AD) is crucial for network security as it controls access to sensitive data, making it a primary target for attackers. Even a small AD breach can result in significant data loss, operational downtime, and reputational damage in a business.

Assembling the Dream Team: Building a High-Performing Supply Chain Incident Response Team

Organizations are increasingly reliant on third-party vendors. While this enables agility and innovation, it also introduces significant security risks. Cyberattacks originating from the supply chain are on the rise, underscoring the critical need for robust security measures. This article explores the key elements of building a high-performing supply chain incident response team to effectively mitigate and respond to these threats.

Essential Cloud Security Tactics for Securing Complex Environments

In the rapidly expanding world of cloud computing, organizations are increasingly adopting multi-cloud and hybrid cloud strategies to leverage the benefits of flexibility, scalability, and cost-efficiency. However, these complex environments also introduce unique security challenges that must be addressed to protect sensitive data and maintain business continuity. This article explores the essential cloud security tactics that businesses can employ to secure their complex cloud environments effectively.

The Role of Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) in Cybersecurity

If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that every organization — no matter how big or well-protected — is vulnerable to cyber attacks. From major corporations to government agencies, attackers have breached seemingly ironclad security systems. If your organization ever suffers a data breach, you’ll need a digital forensics and incident response (DFIR) plan. The time to craft one is now. DFIR combines two separate but related ideas.
