"Networks and Crisis Management" published on by Oxford University Press.

The all-new edition of this security bestseller reveals the most relevant and up-to-date incident response techniques, tools, and case scenarios. Incident Response & Computer Forensics, Third Edition arms you with the right know-how to react quickly and efficiently to the daily onslaught of data breaches that hit all organizations worldwide. This new edition is chock-full of updates about tools and techniques as well as real-world scenarios reflecting today's most common types of incidents. Specific, detailed advice covers all aspects of incident investigation and handling, with an emphasis on forensics. Special features highlight important tips for security practitioners: the Law Enforcement feature that appears throughout all chapters provides advice on when and how law enforcement must be informed; the What Can Happen feature shows how badly certain scenarios could turn out (with non-action or wrong-action) and why; the Where to Look feature guides you through the fastest routes to key evidence; and the Eye Witness feature details relevant real-world cases for context and urgency. Part I: Introduction to Incident Response covers real-world incidents, an introduction to the incident response process, preparation for incident response, and what happens after the detection of an incident. Part II: Data Collection covers live data collection from Windows and UNIX systems, forensic duplication, collecting network-based evidence, and evidence handling. Part III: Data Analysis covers computer system storage fundamentals, data analysis techniques, investigating Windows and UNIX systems, analyzing network traffic, investigating hacker tools, investigating routers, and writing computer forensic reports. The most technically rigorous handbook on incident handling available All-new advice on architecting networks from the ground-up to fight intrusions New details on streamlining intrusion diagnoses for faster recovery New coverage of: log file and massive data analysis; memory analysis; social media portals to entry; malware analysis; and mobile device-originated breaches New real-world scenarios added throughout exemplify the latest, most prevalent incident types New and up-to-date methods for investigating and assessing hackers' latest tools A forensics-forward approach to handling and protecting sensitive data without further compromising systems. -- Provided by publisher

An understanding of how digital forensics integrates with the overall response to cybersecurity incidents is a must for all organizations. This book offers concrete and detailed guidance on how to conduct the full spectrum of incident response and digital forensic activities

There is significant debate about the appropriate governance structure in a disaster response. Complex disasters exhibit both networked and hierarchical characteristics. One challenge in the field of disaster management is how to structure a response that reconciles the need for centralized coordination among varied responders while retaining flexibility to mutually adjust operations to quickly changing conditions. A key question with both practical and theoretical relevance is, "are there patterns of relationships that are more robust, efficient and effective?" Missing from the current literature is empirical evidence and theory building concerning what actual network structures and characteristics might be associated with effective incident response to complex disasters. In this article, we collected network cognition data from 25 elite, Type 1 Incident Commanders to construct an ideal-type theoretical social network of an effective incident response network. We then analyzed this model to identify a set of propositions concerning the network structure and governance of effective incident response relative to four key network capabilities: (a) rapid adaptation in response to changing conditions, (b) management of distributed information, (c) bilateral coordination, and (d) emergent collective action. Our data suggest that the structure is neither highly integrated nor rigidly centralized. Rather, it is best characterized as a moderate core–periphery structure. Greater theoretical clarity concerning the capabilities associated with this structure is critical for advancing both research and practice in network governance of complex disasters.
