Book Description
Computer Incident Response and Product Security The practical guide to building and running incident response and product security teams Damir Rajnovic Organizations increasingly recognize the urgent importance of effective, cohesive, and efficient security incident response. The speed and effectiveness with which a company can respond to incidents has a direct impact on how devastating an incident is on the company’s operations and finances. However, few have an experienced, mature incident response (IR) team. Many companies have no IR teams at all; others need help with improving current practices. In this book, leading Cisco incident response expert Damir Rajnovi ́c presents start-to-finish guidance for creating and operating effective IR teams and responding to incidents to lessen their impact significantly. Drawing on his extensive experience identifying and resolving Cisco product security vulnerabilities, the author also covers the entire process of correcting product security vulnerabilities and notifying customers. Throughout, he shows how to build the links across participants and processes that are crucial to an effective and timely response. This book is an indispensable resource for every professional and leader who must maintain the integrity of network operations and products—from network and security administrators to software engineers, and from product architects to senior security executives. -Determine why and how to organize an incident response (IR) team -Learn the key strategies for making the case to senior management -Locate the IR team in your organizational hierarchy for maximum effectiveness -Review best practices for managing attack situations with your IR team -Build relationships with other IR teams, organizations, and law enforcement to improve incident response effectiveness -Learn how to form, organize, and operate a product security team to deal with product vulnerabilities and assess their severity -Recognize the differences between product security vulnerabilities and exploits -Understand how to coordinate all the entities involved in product security handling -Learn the steps for handling a product security vulnerability based on proven Cisco processes and practices -Learn strategies for notifying customers about product vulnerabilities and how to ensure customers are implementing fixes This security book is part of the Cisco Press Networking Technology Series.

Critical Incident Command and Response

Book Description
Incident response is a key component in safeguarding the integrity and security of the nation's critical infrastructures. Critical infrastructures are crucial components in maintaining the prosperity and security that this nation provides its citizens. The growing reliance on technology, in conjunction with the increasing interdependency of each infrastructure on one another, requires the ability to prevent, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the effects of various types of incidents. Any disruption to one or more of these critical infrastructures can have a devastating effect on the security and economic stability of this nation. Current incident response plans have been put to the test by various naturally occurring events that have underlined both the strengths and the weaknesses of existing response frameworks. The research findings indicate that some of the same vulnerabilities may exist in newly developed response frameworks targeting cyber incidents. Evidence also indicates that these infrastructures will face a new vulnerability. The increase reliance on technology has now unlocked new weaknesses, primarily the vulnerability to a cyber-attack. Continued evaluation and training of key entities and personnel in cyber response tactics is a necessary step to ensuring the effectiveness of these response frameworks. The research findings suggest that a more proactive approach to cyber incident response is required to sustain an effective response capability equivalent to the rapid innovations in technology. Partnerships among all entities involved in a response need to be strengthened and continually amended to ensure the preparedness of all response personnel in protecting the security of this nation's critical infrastructures.

Book Description
Sometimes, I hate being right. Not all the time mind you. Just sometimes. There are things that you know you shouldn’t get into, and you do anyway, and it turns out bad. That’s what I am going to tell you about today. Why? Because for some reason they wanted an official report, and well, I don’t do official reports much. So, this is the best you get. Here we go then, into a story about bad choices, guns, travel, and stuff that I still can’t believe happened honestly. I was there, and I still don’t buy some of it myself. It’s still going in the report because it is what I saw, and somehow, it happened. Sometimes being bored is not so bad. Stephanie Macintyre's world is about to change. one minute she's doing her doldrum PI job, the next she gets the phone call that changes everything. First, there's the dead body, the missing scientist, and the mysterious machine. Then, she's getting shot at, infiltrating a multinational corporation's headquarters, and entering new dimensions. Yes, really. She's in over her head, and she knows it. Help comes in the form of a hyperactive hacker and her misfit group of friends. Before they know what they've really gotten themselves into, they're neck deep in trying to stop a madman from carrying out his apocalyptic terrorist plot, running across the country, and driving straight into a danger they could never have conceived. Though the story contains depictions of characters of various talents, abilities, gender identities, and sexualities, what we learn is that good people protect the innocent and evil people create evil. Can the group stop the plot? Its a roller coaster ride with a bumpy stop, but the ride will be worth it and leave you craving more.
