Mastering Security Incident Management

Become an end-to-end incident management expert by detecting, triaging, containing, eradicating, and recovering across cloud and IoT/OT, as well as applying NIST/SANS/ATT&CK, legal compliance, AI/ML, and simulations to build resilient operations Key Features Master NIST, SANS, and MITRE to standardize and accelerate incident response Build a resilient IR program spanning cloud, IoT/OT, and legal compliance Practice real-world incidents with simulations to reduce downtime and damage Free with your book: PDF Copy, AI Assistant, and Next-Gen Reader Book DescriptionMastering Security Incident Management is a practical guide to the full incident response (IR) lifecycle. It demystifies what incident management is and why it matters, walking you through leading frameworks, such as NIST, SANS, ISO, and MITRE ATT&CK, so you can build a consistent response program on-premises and on the cloud. You’ll learn to prepare teams and plans, detect and triage events, collect evidence, contain and eradicate threats, and recover systems while capturing lessons learned for continuous improvement. Written for SOC analysts, IR leads, security engineers, and IT managers, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice by stressing on repeatable processes, legal and regulatory readiness, and cloud/IoT realities, with actionable checklists, playbook patterns, and simulation guidance. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to establish or mature an IR program; align it to NIST/ISO/SANS; operationalize ATT&CK-mapped detection; run triage and forensics that stand up in court; contain and eradicate quickly with isolation and patching; recover to defined RTO/RPOs; meet breach-reporting duties; and boost resilience through drills, AI-assisted automation, and data-driven post-mortems, thus turning incidents into lessons and not lasting crises. What you will learn Build a cross-functional incident response program Align processes with NIST, ISO, SANS, and ATT&CK Detect, triage, and analyze incidents using SIEM and EDR Collect and preserve digital evidence for forensics Contain outbreaks with isolation and segmentation Eradicate threats and patch vulnerabilities systematically Recover systems to meet the defined RTO/RPO and validate Meet breach-reporting and privacy law obligations Who this book is for This book is targeted toward security teams who plan, run, or mature incident response; that is, SOC analysts, incident responders, security engineers, sysadmins/DevOps, IT managers, and aspiring CISOs across cloud, IoT/OT, and regulated industries.
