Incident response is always tough today. But when you need to deal with faster networks, an increasingly mobile workforce, and that thing called cloud computing, IR gets even harder. Sure, there are new technologies like threat intelligence, better network and endpoint telemetry, and analytics to help you investigate faster. But don’t think you’ll be able to do the same thing tomorrow as you did yesterday. You will need to evolve your incident response process and technology to handle the cloud age, just like you have had to adapt many of your other security functions to this new reality.

Our Incident Response in the Cloud Age paper digs into impacts of the cloud, faster and virtualized networks, and threat intelligence on your incident response process. Then we discuss how to streamline response in light of the lack of people to perform the heavy lifting of incident response. Finally we bring everything together with a scenario to illuminate the concepts.
