The increasing complexity and diversity of systems, applications, and networks has made them more difficult to defend. As companies continue to experience losses due to security breaches, security professionals must take a new approach in protecting their assets. By using monitoring and detection measures with prompt intervention, you can reduce the magnitude of incidents. This book gives you the information you need to develop an effective incident response strategy.

Providing specific security plans from internationally recognized experts on the topic, illustrated through case studies showing real-world application, Incident Response provides comprehensive coverage of all phases of incident response, from pre-incident conditions and considerations to post-incident analysis. Dr. E. Eugene Schultz and Russell Shumway (along with a contribution by Dr. Terry Gudaitis) teach you security principles that help you minimize information loss and system disruption.
