The presentation will cover the essential skills and techniques for effective immediate incident response, drawing from my own experiences and learning. It will begin with a foundation of necessary skills and knowledge for being an effective analyst and responder, including technical foundations, understanding your environment, knowing adversary techniques, creative thinking, and effective communication.
Building on these foundational skills, the discussion will explore techniques for conducting efficient investigations. Borrowing from other Cyber disciplines, this will include using Structured Analytic Techniques, the MITRE ATT&CK framework, and maintaining calm and focus during incidents.
The talk will conclude with practical advice on how to acquire these skills and techniques. Suggestions will include observing other analysts, using home and online labs, reinforcing that working with similar environments is conducive to learning and skill enhancement.
