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, you learned about the different categories of threat actors and the importance of knowing your adversaries and their capacities to have a better level of contextual understanding when responding to an incident.

You learned how to analyze threat profiles from different sources and the basic concepts of the STIX and TAXII standards.

You also learned how to start documenting a threat actor's profile report using VS Code, the Markup language, and the VSCode ATT&CK extension.

In the next chapter, you will learn about the different stages of an attack using the Cyber Kill Chain model, how to identify attacker TTPs using the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and how to create threat intelligence documentation for incident response.
