From understanding their importance to creating a swift and effective response to security incidents, the book will guide you using examples. Later, you'll cover digital forensic techniques, from acquiring evidence and examining volatile memory through to hard drive examination and network-based evidence. You'll be able to apply these techniques to the current threat of ransomware. As you progress, you'll discover the role that threat intelligence plays in the incident response process. You'll also learn how to prepare an incident response report that documents the findings of your analysis. Finally, in addition to various incident response activities, the book will address malware analysis and demonstrate how you can proactively use your digital forensic skills in threat hunting.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to investigate and report unwanted security breaches and incidents in your organization.

What You Will Learn:

• Create and deploy an incident response capability within your own organization
• Perform proper evidence acquisition and handling
• Analyze the evidence collected and determine the root cause of a security incident
• Integrate digital forensic techniques and procedures into the overall incident response process
• Understand different techniques for threat hunting
• Write incident reports that document the key findings of your analysis
• Apply incident response practices to ransomware attacks
• Leverage cyber threat intelligence to augment digital forensics findings
