Abstract

According to the ancient Chinese learning our world is governed by two opposite forces being Yin and Yang. Those forces are the force of offense and force of defense and by the same doctrine our world can be in harmony only if those two forces are in balance. The modern security experts would also see a security as a balance between attack and defense. So many defense professionals worldwide would approach their everyday tasks with such an assumption. The similar situation is with the cyber defense - the cybersecurity researchers and practitioners would see cyber defense as a balance between cyber attack and its defense. Also, this doctrine would get led with the theory that there are some passive and active principles in cyber defense. For instance, the passive principals are cyber prevention and monitoring, while the active principle is the incident response. The ongoing experience would suggest that the majority of marketplace actors would invest a lot into the passive factors of cyber defense, while the incident response would get less used due to some objective and realistic parameters. The main concern with the incident response is that it requires a lot of skills and expertise in order to get applied. There is the entire flow in a cybersecurity that would suggest that all three indicators of the cyber defense passive and active principles should get equally distributed. In addition, coping with such a concept so many cyber experts would see the incident response as a key pillar in a cyber defense. In this effort, we intend to provide a deep insight into such learning as well as provide some comments and discussions coming from our own research experience.

Highlights

  • As it’s well-known, cyber defense would deal with so many practical variations depending on the organization it got implemented in

  • The large scale companies would usually cope with the security operating centers (SOCs), while the small businesses would suffer a certain lack of cybersecurity procedures and policies. [1, 6, 7] So many laics would believe that the small businesses are not an attractive target to the hackers, but the studies would suggest that the cybercrime underground would make the biggest profit affecting the small businesses

  • What is the trick? The small businesses would usually deal with a poor cyber defense and they would not know how to tackle the incidental situation at all

Summary

INTRODUCTION

As it’s well-known, cyber defense would deal with so many practical variations depending on the organization it got implemented in. The small businesses would usually deal with a poor cyber defense and they would not know how to tackle the incidental situation at all. They would be the critical infrastructure to many economies for a reason they would get a dominated form of enterprises. The cyber criminals aiming to do something spectacular would see as a challenge making the breach to such an asset They would know that such an action could bring them the huge profit as well as attract the attention of so many media houses giving them some kind of publicity and in case of different age groups – maybe some sort of popularity. It’s so important to accept the fact that the cyber breaches are inevitable
