What is Incident Response
Incident response is the approach an organization or more specifically an IT security team takes in handling an incident or breach of a system or multiple systems. In the wake of massive breaches including Target, Equifax, Yahoo and frankly nearly countless others, organizations are developing their own incident response capabilities to limit damage. However, in a recent SANS survey, the majority of IR teams said that they lacked the knowledge, tools, and time to implement a viable IR function in the short term.
Frankly, with constant new strains of malware, sophisticated social engineering, DDoS attacks, insider theft and so many other threats against organizations, it is difficult to cover the depth and breadth of attack scenarios that an IT security team may face.
Whether its detection, remediation or restoration security teams are looking for adequate support at a moment’s notice.
