Incident Response with Threat Intelligence

By: Roberto Martinez

Overview of this book

With constantly evolving cyber threats, developing a cybersecurity incident response capability to identify and contain threats is indispensable for any organization regardless of its size. This book covers theoretical concepts and a variety of real-life scenarios that will help you to apply these concepts within your organization. Starting with the basics of incident response, the book introduces you to professional practices and advanced concepts for integrating threat hunting and threat intelligence procedures in the identification, contention, and eradication stages of the incident response cycle. As you progress through the chapters, you'll cover the different aspects of developing an incident response program. You'll learn the implementation and use of platforms such as TheHive and ELK and tools for evidence collection such as Velociraptor and KAPE before getting to grips with the integration of frameworks such as Cyber Kill Chain and MITRE ATT&CK for analysis and investigation. You'll also explore methodologies and tools for cyber threat hunting with Sigma and YARA rules. By the end of this book, you'll have learned everything you need to respond to cybersecurity incidents using threat intelligence.

Understanding the principles and capabilities of SOAR

The term Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response refers to the integration of multiple technologies and processes to exchange and centralize information in an automated way. 

In security incidents, everything must flow, and every member of the team must perform the activities related to their role in a coordinated way with the other teams, using the appropriate tools and technologies, and following the previously defined procedures, all of them directed by a leader.

Benefits of SOAR-based IR 

There are multiple benefits of implementing a SOAR-based IR model:

  • Improves the organization's posture and capacity in the face of threats 
  • Allows you to integrate existing technologies within the organization 
  • Facilitates process automation and decision making 
  • Provides greater visibility and improves detection capabilities 
  • Reduces threat identification, containment...
