Nice intro to incident response
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I found this a good intro to incident response, particularly since I have to develop a comprehensive program for our company and tie that with our subsidaries around the world. (I am the head of Global Incident Response for a Fortune 500 company) For managers and CIO folks, this book is a very handy reference that doesn't scare folks away.....if you want gads of screen shots and techno-babble, look elsewhere. If you want a book that managers and those with little time can read, learn from, and apply, get this one. This is the Cliff Notes of Incident Response - nothing more, and nothing less.
Very helpful - management oriented, not techno-geeky

The book is a great introduction to incident handling, and is appropriate for both systems folks as well as their managers. This is not the heaviest security book in the world and that's because it doesn't get bogged down in the nitty-gritty technology stuff of computer security. (If you want a hand-holding how-to-do-it book, there are others better suited.)Rare for a technology book, they take a management approach instead of a purely technical one, and thus probably means they have a wider target audience that will benefit from it. Also, the book isn't Unix- or Windows- based, what they talk about is handy for any computing platform for any size company.However it does do a great job of introducing you to incident response - why it's needed and what options you have for it. They are correct that it is a process not a solution.The tools section is a good overview and introduction - by no means complete - and the authors even say that it's not all-incompassing. I guess we all know how fast software changes, and that it's impossible to cover everything.
