[Dan Mann · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eminently readable, Incident Response: Investigating Computer Crime, prepares the cyber security professional for exactly what to do when a cyber security incident occurs. One of my biggest takeaways is to not panic and that evidence must be maintained for traffic analysis to be effective. This edition may be less relevant with ransomware’s growth and cloud services, but fundamentals of investigation don’t change and are still useful. Specific tools maybe not so much.
