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 12: Working with Analytics and Detection Engineering in Incident Response

So far in this book, you have learned about the fundamentals of incident response, the knowledge of the attacker's behaviors using threat intelligence, and the way that you can implement and use different tools to improve the capacity of your organization to respond to attacks.

However, in the critical moments when an incident occurs, it is essential to know what you need to look for and where to get relevant information.

There are multiple sources of information where you can get valuable data about malicious behaviors to define an identification and contention strategy. You can do this by implementing analytics and detection engineering in incident response.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Configuring the detection lab
  • Identifying and containing threats
  • Implementing principles of detection engineering in incident response
  • Using MITRE Cyber Analytics...
