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.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about two frameworks that we can use to respond to cybersecurity incidents and how to apply them.

The Cyber Kill Chain focuses on describing the different phases in which an attack occurs to identify and prevent security breaches.

On the other hand, MITRE ATT&CK helps us identify different tactics, techniques, and tools that an attacker could use in an attack. Thus, the ATT&CK Matrix gives us the advantage of visualizing in a much broader way the possible previous or subsequent actions of an attacker to contain or investigate the details of an attack.

In the next chapter, you will perform several hands-on exercises where you can apply what you learned in the modules of this section.

Through a practical scenario, you will model a potential threat for your organization. Finally, you will identify the IoCs and IoAs in a cybersecurity incident to contain the attack using the CTI provided and create the matrices in the ATT&CK...
