Study Notes
Incident Response and Digital Forensics
- The primary focus of this section of the course is incident response and digital forensics.
- The main point made about the use of tools in incident response is that they are used for both incident response and digital forensics investigations.
- The instructor mentions responding to various types of cyber incidents, including network intrusions, malware outbreaks, and denial-of-service attacks.
- The instructor has personal experience with digital forensic evidence collection, having worked on cases involving Windows and Linux systems.
Incident Response Lifecycle
- The incident response lifecycle consists of several phases: preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery, and post-incident activity.
- During the detection and analysis phase, the organization focuses on identifying, categorizing, and prioritizing unusual activity within their networks and systems.
- The main goal of the preparation phase is to prepare for potential incidents by developing an incident response plan, establishing incident response procedures, and training personnel.
- The primary objective of the containment, eradication, and recovery phase is to contain the incident, eradicate the root cause, and recover from the incident.
- The purpose of the post-incident activity phase is to review the incident response, identify areas for improvement, and document lessons learned.
- Most cybersecurity analysts and forensic analysts spend most of their working hours during incident response in the detection and analysis phase.
- The primary objective of the incident response lifecycle is to respond to incidents in a timely and effective manner to minimize the impact of the incident.
Incident Response vs. Digital Forensics
- The main difference between incident response and digital forensics investigation is that incident response focuses on responding to an incident, while digital forensics focuses on collecting and analyzing digital evidence.
- Cybersecurity analysts and forensic analysts spend most of their working hours during incident response in the detection and analysis phase.
- The primary objective of the incident response lifecycle is to respond to incidents in a timely and effective manner to minimize the impact of the incident.
