The NIST 800-61 revision 2 standard provides guidelines for incident handling, especially for analyzing incident-related data, and determining the appropriate response to each incident. The guidelines can be followed independently of particular hardware platforms, operating systems, protocols, or applications. Organizations that need to implement the NIST Incident Response Life Cycle, must first establish a computer …
The model represents a security incident or event. In the Diamond Model, an event is a time-bound activity that is restricted to a specific step in which an adversary uses a capability over infrastructure to attack a victim to achieve a specific result. The Diamond Model of Intrusion Analysis is made up of four parts …
According to NIST, vulnerability management is a security practice that is designed to proactively prevent the exploitation of IT vulnerabilities that exist within an organization. The expected result is to reduce the time and money spent dealing with vulnerabilities and the exploitation of those vulnerabilities. Vulnerability management is generally defined as the process of identifying, …

In network security, a demilitarized zone (DMZ) functions as a subnetwork on an organization’s network infrastructure that is located between the protected internal network and an untrusted network often the internet. The DMZ is designed where there is one inside interface connected to the private network, and one outside interface connected to the public network. …
The MITRE ATT&CK Framework is a collection of techniques used by attackers during a breach. The ATT&CK breaks down the techniques into the following tactics: Initial Access – Techniques that use various entry vectors to gain a foothold. Footholds gained through initial access may allow for continued access, like valid accounts and use of external …
A security operations center (SOC), also called an information security operations center (ISOC), is a command center where information security professionals monitor, detect, analyze, and respond to cyber security incidents. The SOC is more like the hub or central collection point for taking telemetry information across an organization’s IT infrastructure for monitoring, analyzing, detecting, and …
Endpoint detection and response (EDR), also known as endpoint threat detection and response (ETDR), is a “cyber technology that continually monitors and responds to mitigate cyber threats.” It is an integrated endpoint security solution that is used to detect and investigate and combines real-time continuous monitoring to threats on endpoints devices in response to cyber …
