Talk Description: Incident Response basics. I recently made the mistake of producing the IR plan for our infosec group. Now I’m managing semi-yearly IR scenarios with the fundamentals of that IR plan as the corporate standard. Be careful what you do well. A general topic with personal experience included. Covers the general aspects of an IR plan, but excludes specialist knowledge such as malware RE, Forensics, etc. As the title suggests, the theme is preparation.
