The "Remote Work" Effect on Incident Response
Summary
That, combined with the high availability of malicious software which can be bought just like any other SaaS product, results in a hazardous situation. Crime organizations and rogue individuals can purchase and use advanced malicious software, and without profound knowledge make a large profit when the attack is deployed successfully. Until COVID-19, most IR procedures were done On-Site, and the cyber experts literally ‘knocked on the victims doorway’ and gathered or extracted the evidence for the investigation. A new generation of security solutions, such as XDR and SOAR, provides a high level of protection for low-budget companies with small cyber teams for the first time. All in all, with the rising demand for cyber professionals and solutions, we are facing a whole new world of opportunities and threats, in which we have to be very agile in order to succeed.
