WHY THIS REPORT AND WHY NOW?
Incident management is an often-debated, frequently misunderstood topic that can quickly befuddle even the most advanced security teams. So to clear things up, we chose not to focus on what we think is right, but rather on what we know has worked for Red Canary and our customers.
This guide is based on “lessons learned” from successes and failures over the years. And while it may not answer every question you may have about modern incident response, we hope that it sets the wheels in motion for something better than what you have today.
