Incident response methodologies emphasize
preparation-not only establishing a response
capability so the organization is ready to respond to
Six-Step - Preparation
incidents but also preventing incidents by ensuring
that systems, networks, and applications are
sufficiently secure.
Identification is triggered by a suspicious event. This
could be from a security appliance, a call to the help-
desk, or the result of something discovered via threat
hunting. Event validation should occur and a decision
Six-Step - Identificatoin made as to the severity of the finding (not valid events
lead to a full incident response). Once an incident
response has begun, this phase is used to better
understand the findings and begin scoping the
network for additional compromise.
In this phase, the goal is to rapidly understand the
adversary and begin crafting a containment strategy.
Responders must identify the initial vulnerability or
exploit, how the attackers are maintaining persistence
and laterally moving in the network, and how
Six Step - Containment
command and control is being accomplished. in
and Intelligence
conjunction with the previous scoping phase,
development
responders will work to have a complete picture of
the attack and often implement changes to the
environment to increase host and network visibility.
Threat intelligence is one of the key products of the IP
team during this phase.
