Announcing my New Book
I am delighted to announce my new book “Incident Response In The Age Of Cloud “ which is planned to be published in the earlier last quarter of 2020.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Anyone can be hacked. It is just a matter of time. Even the right technology, e.g. the best firewall or anti-virus application, can fall short of protecting your system against cyber-attacks since cybercriminals are always in search of finding new methods and ways to infiltrate into systems.
Responding to an incident quickly will help an organization to minimise its losses, decrease vulnerabilities, rebuild services and processes. Therefore, at this very moment, it is significant to know the best practices to respond to a successful cyber attack.
Organization’s should have skilled employees and sophisticated tools to identify the threats or to respond and eliminate them. Without knowing the best practices of an incident response process, the organization will be an easy target for cybercriminals and be vulnerable to a cyber attack.
This book will be a guideline for organizations on how to address and manage the aftermath of a cyber attack, and how to control the cybersecurity breach in a way that decreases damage, recovery time and costs.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The book targets programmers, system administrators and all levels of users who deal with security of an organisation (IT, SOC, CSIRT or other teams). Our book will help them to identify a security incident, to build a series of best practices to stop an attack before it creates serious consequences.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?
- What is an Incident Response and Why it is important
- How to organize an incident response (IR) team
- Best practices for managing attack situations with your IR team
- Learn how to form, organize, and operate a product security team to deal with product vulnerabilities and assess their severity
- How to organize all the entities involved in product security response
- Responding to a security vulnerability based on Keepnet Labs processes and practices
- How to adapt all the above learnings for the cloud

Positive Aspects
- Relevance and Timeliness: The book directly addresses the unique challenges and considerations of incident response in cloud environments, a critical topic given the increasing reliance on cloud infrastructure.
- Practical and Actionable: It goes beyond theory, providing concrete guidance and best practices for developing and implementing effective incident response plans in the cloud.
- Comprehensive Coverage: The book explores a wide range of topics, from understanding cloud security threats and vulnerabilities to incident detection, investigation, containment, and recovery in cloud environments.
- Real-World Examples and Case Studies: The inclusion of real-world examples and case studies helps to illustrate key concepts and provide practical insights into how to apply incident response techniques in different cloud scenarios.
- Focus on Collaboration: The authors emphasize the importance of collaboration between different teams and stakeholders during incident response, highlighting the need for clear communication and shared responsibility in the cloud.
“Incident Response in the Age of Cloud” is a valuable resource for cybersecurity professionals, incident responders, and anyone involved in managing cloud security. It provides practical and actionable guidance for effectively responding to incidents in cloud environments. While there is room for further technical depth and vendor-specific information, the book serves as a solid foundation for understanding and implementing incident response in the cloud.
Recommendations
- Suitable for: Cybersecurity professionals, incident responders, cloud security engineers, and anyone responsible for managing or securing cloud environments
