Build your organization's cyber defense system by effectively applying digital forensics, incident management, and investigation techniques to real-world cyber threats About This Audiobook Create a solid incident response framework and manage cyber incidents effectively Learn to apply digital forensics tools and techniques to investigate cyber threats Explore the real-world threat of ransomware and apply proper incident response techniques for investigation and recovery In Detail An understanding of how digital forensics integrates with the overall response to cybersecurity incidents is key to securing your organization's infrastructure from attacks. This updated third edition will help you perform cutting-edge digital forensic activities and incident response with a new focus on responding to ransomware attacks. After covering the fundamentals of incident response that are critical to any information security team, you'll explore incident response frameworks. From understanding their importance to creating a swift and effective response to security incidents, the audiobook 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 audiobook will address malware analysis and demonstrate how you can proactively use your digital forensic skills in threat hunting. By the end of this audiobook, you'll be able to investigate and report unwanted security breaches and incidents in your organization. Audience This book is for cybersecurity and information security professionals who want to implement digital forensics and incident response in their organizations. You'll also find the book helpful if you're new to the concept of digital forensics and looking to get started with the fundamentals. A basic understanding of operating systems and some knowledge of networking fundamentals are required to get started with this book.

The subject of this dissertation is the response to food safety incidents in logistics chains. In recent decades, the food industry has been confronted with many different incidents. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), unsafe food leads to an estimated 600 million cases of illness and 420,000 deaths worldwide. Food safety is considered important and socially relevant because of the public health, political, reputational and financial risks involved. Research into these food safety incidents usually focuses on one or a limited number of parties in the supply chain, while the chain as a whole is involved in the response. In this study of the entire food chain, five (chain) positions have been distinguished: producer, logistics service provider, wholesaler/retailer, sector organisation and food safety authority. It has been studied from which perspective these different positions act upon food safety incidents and which criteria are applied in decisions regarding the response. The research results indicate that the logistic response is primarily seen as a coordination process. The emphasis in all rounds of research was on information quality, with the challenges of transparency and traceability being mentioned. In addition to coordination, the data revealed three more critical decision criteria, namely: cooperation, communication and competence. The survey results show a clear difference in the positions' views on how to use the decision criteria for an effective response to a food safety incident. In particular, business risks are approached differently, with some positions focusing more on reputation and others more on cost-effectiveness. As a result, designing an effective logistical response in food chains can be challenging. Based on theory and data, a model was developed that distinguishes a timeline (five phases) in the logistic response process and includes decision criteria for each phase. In general, this dissertation shows the interdependence of the parties in the food chains. The research ...

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.
