As you are well aware, cyber incident response –  or “IR” – is a fundamental responsibility and priority for cyber security teams. Effectively detecting and handling cyber incidents is critical for protecting your organization and its people, and minimizing risks and associated impacts.

But cyber IR is a challenging, multifaceted endeavor that includes record-keeping, security, tracking, coordination, collaboration, reporting, automation, governance, compliance and more!

How can teams with limited resources mature these complex, multi-part processes quickly and easily while still taking care of their day jobs?
