Abstract

Incident response is crucial in managing IT incidents, with new regulations like GDPR and NIS mandating such capabilities. This chapter explores the importance of incident response in today's threat landscape, characterized by organized criminals and state-sponsored attacks. It delves into the establishment of incident response teams and the development of policies and procedures to handle incidents effectively. Real-world examples, such as the Stuxnet malware and the Ukrainian electricity provider attack, illustrate the severity of modern threats. The chapter also discusses the integration of digital forensics into incident response, highlighting its importance in understanding and mitigating incidents. Practical steps for incident handling, including identification, containment, eradication, and recovery, are outlined. Post-incident activities, such as documentation and forensic analysis, are emphasized to improve future security measures. The chapter concludes with a task to analyze the NotPetya ransomware outbreak, encouraging readers to discuss its impact and prevention strategies.
