Cybersecurity Incident Response in the Enterprise

Abstract

In today's dynamic, virtualized, and complex business environments, whenever a cybersecurity incident occurs, every second counts. With many organizations moving toward modern enterprise-grade architectures, implementing well-structured enterprise-grade cybersecurity incident response (IR) strategies to combat cybersecurity incidents, breaches, and threats has become inevitable. The incidence response team, together with cybersecurity analysts, should comprehensively structure their incident response plan to cover modern enterprise architectures and emerging complex organizational needs. To this end, this chapter provides a review of the literature, covering tools, methods, and strategies used in modern-day incident response plans. In addition, this chapter provides insights into the steps that organizations can take to build effective incident response strategies that can help them assess, respond to, and learn from security incidents.
