Cybersecurity threats and Incident Response

Incident response has become the most integral part of information systems and technology. Cybersecurity attacks and threats are evolving every day causing security-related incidents to occur frequently. Cybersecurity attacks nowadays are more complex and disruptive than ever. Adversaries / Hackers have become more advanced and found new ways to bypass security controls thus damaging and compromising the organization’s reputation, network infrastructure, and services. Some cybersecurity threats include DDOS attacks, Ransomware, Phishing, Data Breaches, Trojans, computer virus, etc.

Activities based on preventive measures can help decrease the attack surface but keeping in mind that not all security incidents can be prevented but the damage caused by these security incidents can be lowered. Reducing Mean Time To Response(MTTR) is the key.

In an organization, it's up to the Security teams to manage alerts regarding security incidents. Due to a large volume of alerts, the task of managing alerts and taking necessary action become quite a cumbersome job for the security team. In order to tackle this issue Automated or Semi-Automated Investigation and Response is used to reduce time on mean time to response

Organizations Infrastructure and Tools

With new technological advancements and needs, every organization’s IT infrastructure is also changing and evolving. Organizations are using different security controls and security prevention mechanisms to minimize the damage caused by cybersecurity threat actors. For instance, an organization may use a Next-Generation Firewall that includes Deep packet inspection, IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention) mechanism, etc. while other organizations may use SIEM for correlation between different security-related attacks.

We need to understand that there are a lot of ways to secure an organization’s network and infrastructure due to which different complex systems need to be deployed.

Modern Tools and Techniques for Incident Response

With evolving cybersecurity threats, Security experts and analysts have also come up with new and effective techniques, tools, and incident response plans that help them to mitigate and respond to complex cybersecurity threats. As new technologies and defense mechanisms are being created your teams need to pick up the pace and learn to tackle new incidents effectively and smartly to protect your organization’s critical infrastructure. More importantly, the insights, logs, and alerts collected from different prevention and monitoring platforms/mechanisms need to be analyzed thoroughly so that the critical alerts are handled and prioritized leading to an effective alert resolution.

Cybersecurity Talent

The Threat Actors and Vectors have become very powerful and are capable of launching devastating attacks on organization critical infrastructure and services that cause millions of losses. The identification and mitigation of threats could only be possible if an organization has a well-trained security staff and an incident response plan in effect. To handle security alerts from a variety of systems, analysts have to go through complicated challenging processes including alerts enrichment, correlation, figuring out false positives, taking the right actions, etc. This task is quite overwhelming for security analysts and may cause burnout. As per Gartner, there is the cybersecurity talent shortage and there is a difficulty in hiring these talents. Below is a comparison of cybersecurity talents in terms of hiring difficulties in different countries

Keeping given the above stats that identify the cybersecurity talent shortage and excessive cybersecurity threats and alerts, adaptive context-aware incident response is needed by CISOs to handle threats and alerts properly.

So if your organization is struggling to find a solution that will help them to handle most advanced threats and alerts that are overwhelming for your Security staff or if the current solution deployed in your organization has excessive MTTR(Mean Time to Response) then DTonomy has an effective solution for your organization.
