The problem with cyberattacks is that they happen faster than you can think. That’s why, during a cyber crisis, security teams need incident response (IR) protocols that go beyond traditional guidelines and provide concrete, rapid, and repeatable actions. This presentation offers a practical approach to incident response. Drawing on real-world experiences and case studies, we will demonstrate that small improvements in procedures can make a critical difference during an incident and that having good playbooks accelerates detection, containment, and response capabilities.
