Incident response and digital forensics require a balancing act to get right, but both are essential when an information security incident occurs. In this practical guide, the relationship between incident response and digital forensics is explored and you will learn how to undertake each and balance them to meet the needs of an organisation in the event of an information security incident. Best practice tips and real-life examples are included throughout. There are countless books on information security theory, and many of them are dedicated to incident response (IR). So, what makes this one any different? The aim of this book is to take the theory and show how it applies to various real-life incidents and investigations, in a hands-on fashion.
