Incident Response Playbooks
Reduce complexity, accelerate response
Implementing proactive security practices and utilizing a well-defined Incident Response(IR) plan will help prepare your team to respond to threats. Incident Response Playbooks supplement your IR plan by providing frameworks, checklists, decision trees, and other templatized material that will help your team execute appropriate response workflows.
Custom-designed tactical playbooks
IR playbooks focus on the specific actions required to triage, contain, investigate, and remediate an incident and are unique to your organization. Talos IR helps your organization build and/or refine tactical playbooks aligned to address defined incident types (e.g., ransomware). Talos IR’s real-world expertise, coupled with the latest threat intelligence, ensures your organization is prepared and can respond when an attack occurs.
