Incident Response - A few areas of keeping your systems oiled and ready to go

One example of a exercise for incident response could be designing and implementing an incident response plan for a hypothetical company. The project could include the following steps:

Research: Research and analyze different incident response frameworks and best practices, such as NIST, ISO, and SANS.
Planning: Develop an incident response plan for the hypothetical company, including roles and responsibilities, communication plans, and procedures for different types of incidents.
Implementation: Implement the incident response plan in a test environment and run simulated incident scenarios to test its effectiveness.
Evaluation: Evaluate the incident response plan and make any necessary adjustments based on the results of the simulated incidents.
Presentation: Create a final report and presentation that explains the research, planning, implementation, and evaluation of the incident response plan, including any recommendations for improvement.
Real-world testing: Finally, testing the incident response plan in a real-world scenario where your team will act as a blue team and go through the incident response process with a red team.

The Cybersecurity Certification Landscape

What does a typical Cybersecurity Professional need to buttress his credentials. Certifications should be thought of as our ability to present the credentials in a manner that makes it easy for the person to understand and note that the person has the ability and understand cybersecurity jargon and best practices to put to practice the various options as to how we protect our assets. The table was built to provide a set of certifications, what they test you for and the training that is requried to achieve the objective. As said the certificate is only a part of the story, it is the skills in addition to the understanding of the concepts that would be important for the cybersecuity professional to prove to his peers and his team as to his ability to protect the organization against threats. Certification Skills Tested Roles Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) Security and risk management, asset security, security architecture and engineering, communication and ne

Are you a CISO in the making? What it takes to become one?

A good CISO is a strategic leader who can articulate the business value of cybersecurity and build a strong security program that aligns with the organization's overall goals.

Application securit

Where are we headed ... A crystal ball into Cybersecurity in the next five years .. Are we ready?

The future of Cyber Security: Trends and Predictions for the Next 5 years The field of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and the threats are only getting more sophisticated. In the next five years, we can expect to see a number of trends emerge in the field of cybersecurity, including: The rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is already being used by cybercriminals to develop more sophisticated and targeted attacks. As AI continues to develop, it is likely that cybercriminals will be able to use it to even greater effect. The increasing use of cloud computing. Cloud computing has many benefits, but it also introduces new security challenges. Cloud-based data is often more vulnerable to attack than data that is stored on-premises. The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is connecting billions of devices to the internet, which creates a vast new attack surface for cybercriminals. IoT devices are often poorly secured, making them easy targets for attack. The shortage
