Incident Response Playbooks
Reduce complexity, accelerate response
Putting proactive security practices in place and utilizing well-designed incident response (IR) plans ensures your team is prepared for future attacks, but IR preparedness does not stop with planning. Without IR playbooks, your team lacks the defined processes and step-by-step guides they need to execute appropriate response workflows. IR playbooks consist of the frameworks, checklists, decision trees and other templatized material to help your team effectively respond to incidents in a timely manner. CTIR's Incident Response Playbooks service helps you build effective IR workflows so your team can effectively mitigate threats.
Custom-designed tactical playbooks
Playbooks are often more tactical in nature than IR plans and help response teams focus on triaging, containing, investigating and remediating an event. With this service, you receive expert guidance and custom playbooks that associate your business capabilities to tangible processes so your incident response team can have specific playbooks for different incident types. By leveraging CTIR's industry-leading best practices and real-world expertise, you ensure your organization is properly prepared when an attack occurs.
