Incident Response: Practice Like you Play - Paul Kelly, Tim Morris - ESW #282

Heightened emotions, demands for updates, not knowing how bad things might be... Incident response isn't easy, but practice and the right tools can make it a whole lot less stressful. Some regulations like PCI require annual IR tests, but is that enough? Imagine playing a sport where the team meets for one half-hearted practice once a year. How would that team perform under pressure? How would they communicate? Say this sports analogy has convinced you - the IR team should practice more and should practice effectively. Questions still remain - how often? Are tabletops enough, or are live exercises and simulations necessary? We'll aim to answer these questions and more during this interview with Tim and Paul from Tanium.
