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.

Chapter 8: Building an Incident Response Capability

Security incidents occur when you least expect them. In a moment, the operation of the business is interrupted, or news about the leak of company information is on social networks and the internet and goes viral. These are times of great uncertainty, and you need to respond quickly and appropriately.

It is a crucial moment, and the clock is ticking fast; there is no time for improvisation, and the only way to succeed is to have a plan and sufficient resources to deal with the security breach. Any organization must have the infrastructure, tools, and staff with the knowledge and skills to respond to and investigate security breaches.

There are several frameworks, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and SysAdmin, Audit, Network, and Security (SANS), that consider the importance of developing an incident response capability, with the first step identified as preparation.
