According to recent reports, nearly 1/3rd of all US Businesses experienced a cybersecurity related breach last year. With hackers increasingly targeting US businesses and insiders mishandling or misusing their privileges and access, its' imperative that all organizations have incident response (IR) capabilities at the ready. We're talking about real capabilities that include: threat visibility, centralized logging, root cause analysis, and assessment. While we can agree IR capabilities are important, most businesses do not and may never have on-staff responders or organized security operations - if you are one of these, this talk is for you. In this talk, Chris explores the processes, procedures, and best practices surrounding Incident Response (IR) as it relates to cybersecurity: Finding, containing, investigating, and eliminating attackers from within your network. Learn more about cyber threat hunting, incident response, and how a strong incident response process will help your organization stay better protected from cyber attackers. This presentation, reviewing Cybersecurity Incident Response (IR) Readiness, was originally shared during the 2019 DataConnectors Houston Cybersecurity Conference.
