[LIVE WEBINAR] How Lean Security Teams Can Improve Their Time to Response

Cybersecurity could be described as a marathon for security
teams that spend most of their time building sustained defenses
that prevent threats day after day. However, they must be ready to
hit a sprint whenever an attack succeeds since attack duration, and
the resulting damages are directly correlated.

Reacting to a successful attack is a major challenge for lean
security teams today since speed tends to be a result of size.
Large teams with abundant resources can respond to incidents much
faster as they can expend those resources freely. Lean security
teams face the same costs and resource needs but with a much
smaller pool to call from. A new live webinar by XDR provider Cynet
shows why that doesn’t have to be the case (register here^[1]).

The webinar breaks down how even large enterprises struggle with
time to response. Look at any of the major breaches of the past
years and you’ll find large security teams that overlooked red
flags or mishandled their incident response. It’s not all about
size, but about understanding the factors that impact your time to
response.

From Delay to Disaster

Cyber-attacks happen fast, and there’s little time to waste in
responding. Most attackers today need no more than a few hours to
infiltrate an organization and wreak havoc successfully. Time to
response plays a key role in how much damage organizations avoid
from an attack.

This includes everything from identifying the attack to
investigating forensics, as well as eradicating the attack.

The longer attacks persist, the higher the reputational damage
to an organization, and the more operations are disrupted, revenues
lost, and legal liabilities expand.

That’s not even accounting for the cost of resolving the
incident itself. Speeding time to response is a crucial priority,
but the challenges to surmount are significant. Organizations must
have 360-degree visibility in their environment, as well as the
ability to correlate copious amounts of data and evidence to detect
and root out threats. More importantly, it needs the resources and
planning to effectively adapt to the situation and respond to a
threat quickly.

Speeding Up Your Response

When the rubber hits the road in incident response, most teams
find a common factor in delays – a lack of coordination. From
missed assignments, lack of role clarity, no chain of command or
communication, and more, organizations just don’t work together
effectively and efficiently.

The webinar will discuss:

• Why effective incident response starts with having a
  clear, easy-to-follow incident response plan. A good plan
  removes the uncertainty from the process and establishes who is
  doing what, and how.
• What goes into an effective incident response
  plan? No matter what incident response model you follow,
  there are elements that go into any successful plan. These include
  understanding elements such as preparation, identification,
  containment, recovery, and eradication.
• How having the right tools helps optimize your time to
  response. More than just a plan, you need an
  infrastructure to support your team. This includes detection and
  response tools, as well as the ability to view your environment in
  a single pane of glass.
