Being prepared for an incident and being able to respond effectively if an incident occurs, though closely related, are separate beasts. Incident preparedness leads to more efficient and streamlined incident response. However – incident preparedness is an extensive process that involves identifying and documenting information about your business, assets, exposure, communications, and more. Key contributors need to be chosen and educated, and threat simulation exercises should be planned and executed – and this is all before anything has gone wrong! Incident response deals much more in being able to identify and analyze evidence to determine and close security gaps. Watch this webcast to learn about all of the moving parts involved in incident preparedness and response including:

• The critical components to incident preparedness
• Understanding incident response process, roles, responsibilities, and relevant technologies
• How to build threat detection and incident response capabilities for short, medium, and long term needs
• The typical attacker lifecycle, and how to evaluate compromise evidence in context of it
• How to integrate lessons learned from each compromise into your process
