Companies spend a huge amount of their budget trying to build, manage, and protect cloud environments. Since there is no industry standard for sharing data feeds between development and security, each team is on an island trying to figure out how to keep their side of the room clean. The most robust security incident response teams understand the incredible value of using observability telemetry for security workflows, but are unsure how to make it happen in practice.

A structured approach to incident response enables you to create consistently repeatable processes. Your incident response playbook defines responsibilities and guides your security team through a list of activities to reduce uncertainty if or when an incident occurs. MITRE ATT&CK Framework outlines the tactics and techniques that threat actors use during different stages of an attack.

In today’s cyber threat landscape, almost everyone is one bad day away from a security incident. While not every incident becomes a data breach, security teams need to be prepared for anything. Just like that one friend who has a spreadsheet to help them organize the minute tasks associated with a project, security teams need to have a prepared list of steps to take during an incident.

Few organizations know how to handle a cybersecurity incident properly and minimize its impact on the business. Having a well-designed incident response plan (IRP) in place can save your organization time and resources spent on incident remediation. We can help you build an efficient IRP. Read this post and create an IRP that fits your organization’s needs using the best practices from the NIST incident response planning framework.

Imagine that you have a snack you want to eat while watching a movie on a Friday night. You look in your kitchen, only to find the snack missing. Whether a roommate hid the snack or ate it, you no longer have access to it, disrupting your evening plans. This destructive behavior interrupts your weekend objectives, but it’s pretty low stakes overall.
