How did the Attacker Gain Entry?

In the realm of incidence reporting and response Management:

CERT has a process to use.

One has to have a Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT)

A security incident occurs when unwanted scans and attacks are happening.

Breaking a security policy is also a security incident.

 

Of course breaking into a server and stealing data is an obvious security incident.

 

Less obvious are attempts at increasing identity access.

 

each potential security incident should have a regular review and attention by your IT personnel.

If a single event was found, there were likely more events, and logs must be reviewed to find a security incident.

These are basic policies and security events that must occur in a standard security operations department.

 

A CSIRT is needed to find out what happened and fix problems as soon as practical.
