Cyber Security Incident Response Plan v2

This practical guide shows how to build and run an incident response capability that works under pressure.

It covers governance, severity models, team responsibilities, on-call coverage, readiness assessments, training, tabletop exercises, runbooks, and incident-ready asset and service inventories.

You'll learn how to triage alerts, preserve evidence, investigate hosts, networks, cloud platforms, identities, and applications, then contain, eradicate, recover, and validate affected systems.

Dedicated guidance addresses ransomware, business email compromise, account takeover, data exfiltration, insider threats, supply chain incidents, containers, Kubernetes, SaaS providers, and infrastructure-as-code.

The book also covers SIEM, SOAR, EDR, NDR, automation, communications, notifications, metrics, after-action reviews, threat-informed defense, crisis simulations, and maturity roadmaps.

It's suited to SOC and CSIRT leaders, security practitioners, IT teams, incident managers, risk professionals, and executives responsible for organizational resilience.
