Cybersecurity incidents are becoming increasingly common and costly, making incident response a critical domain for organizations to understand and implement. This book enables you to effectively detect, respond to, and prevent cyberattacks on Windows-based systems by equipping you with the knowledge and tools needed to safeguard your organization's critical assets, in line with the current threat landscape.
The book begins by introducing you to modern sophisticated cyberattacks, including threat actors, methods, and motivations.
