Because cyber threats continue to grow in sophistication and effectiveness, cyber incident reporting is not only important but also necessary for other organizations to learn from and prevent making the same mistakes. Many governing bodies and federal governments around the world have begun to require cyber incident reporting to document the type of attacks used, the source of the attacks, and how the attacks occurred to better understand the threat landscape.

Imagine a nightmare where you are in a dark tunnel and every minute without reaching the light costs a fortune. You try everything to find the exit, but there is nothing you can do. The incarnation of these nightmares is called “Major Incidents” in the cyber security field. These nightmares are likely to become a reality for managers of many organizations today, where companies manage almost all their business processes with digital solutions.

The Center for Internet Security (CIS) offers Critical Security Controls (CSCs) that help organizations improve cybersecurity. CIS CSC 17 covers incident response and management. (In earlier versions of the CIS controls, handling of security incidents was covered in Control 19.) CIS CSC 17 focuses on how to develop a plan for responding to attacks and other security incidents, including the importance of defining clear roles for those responsible for the various tasks involved.

CloudFabrix solution provides a holistic approach for enterprises to implement proactive operations with the objective of eliminating/reducing critical incidents and improving customer satisfaction. The solution primarily relies on applying regression/forecasting models on any time-series data to detect and forecast anomalies. One of the unique features of the solution is the ability to convert unstructured data such as logs/incidents/alerts into time-series data to be used for running prediction models.

Organizations are always looking for new ways to innovate and reduce costs and allocate resources more efficiently. In this blog post, we will look at how enterprises handled incidents before and after deploying AIOps.

Incident management is the process of identifying and resolving problems that occur in IT services. Incident Management is also used as a metric to measure the health of the IT Service Desk. Let’s discuss what incident management is, why it matters to your business, and how you can apply it to your organization.

In order to get a grasp on how to ease security incident management and response processes, there are terms to be clarified first. First of all, a security incident is the common name of an attack towards an organization’s cybersecurity system, network, or data in general. In addition, TechSlang also includes successful attacks within the term “incident”. Therefore, whether impactful or not, all types of attacks, violations, or exploitations can be described as security incidents.

As businesses become increasingly digital, IT operations now deal with more extensive and more complex data than before. Traditional tools and strategies might no longer be enough to help them cope with their growing workload. Hence, many organizations are tuning in to the various AIOps trends available. AIOps is short for Artificial Intelligence (AI) for IT Operations. This is where they use Machine Learning(ML) to enhance and automate IT functions.

The lifecycle of a cyber security incident can be broken up into three stages: investigation, remediation and notifications/disclosures, the latter often being the most complex, time consuming and costly. Disclosure challenges are compounded due to breach notification laws that require initial statements before the investigation is completed and the incident is fully contained. They can also stem from improper interpretation of digital forensics findings.
