Chapter: Incident Response And Management
Incident response is the structured approach organizations use to detect, analyze, contain, eradicate, and recover from cybersecurity incidents. A well-defined incident response plan (IRP) helps minimize damage, prevent further compromise, and restore normal operations quickly.
1. Detection and Analysis
Detection and analysis are the first steps in an incident response process. This phase involves identifying potential security breaches, collecting evidence, and analyzing logs and system data to determine the scope and impact of an attack. A structured approach ensures early threat detection, rapid containment, and effective response strategies.
1. Indicators of Compromise (IoCs)
Indicators of compromise (IoCs) are forensic artifacts that suggest a system has been breached. These artifacts help threat hunters and security analysts detect attacks in real-time or during post-incident investigations.
