systems may be subverted? Do you need to call law enforcement or regulators? Security investigations grow organically in complexity as the organization begins to address operational security concerns (Chapter 17 discusses this topic further). Experts from other teams, such as Legal, may get involved before you can begin your investigation. In short

stand up an IR team, ensure that the communications section of your IR plan covers backup communication methods. We discuss the topic of operational security (OpSec) in more detail in “Operational Security”. Every response plan should outline high-level procedures so a trained responder can act. The plan should contain references to sufficiently detailed

a crisis, followed by a detailed plan of how to take command and maintain control of an incident—a topic that includes deep-dives into operational security and forensics. Communications are a critical but often overlooked part of crisis management. We guide you through some communication-related pitfalls to avoid and provide

extreme risk. If you’re involved in fixing the vulnerability before it’s publicly disclosed (these efforts are often called coordinated vulnerability disclosures, or CVDs), operational security and confidentiality concerns may warrant a heightened response . Alternatively, if you’re hurrying to patch systems after a public disclosure, securing systems that have complex

your customers, regulators, etc. A professional who is skilled at communicating could be a vital addition to your response team. DEEP DIVE: Operational Security In the context of crisis management, operational security (OpSec) refers to the practice of keeping your response activity secret. Whether you are working on a suspected compromise, an insider abuse

Ordinarily this behavior is helpful, but if you’re trying to practice good operational security while collecting data about your attacker, these tools can betray you by automatically talking to the attacker’s infrastructure in easily observable ways. If several

You should always start your investigation with a hands-off approach, until you know enough about the attack to make informed decisions

following: An incident has occurred. You will be assuming the role of IC. You’ll need additional support from the team to investigate. Communications and Operational Security Now that you’ve declared the incident, other people in the organization—executives, legal, etc.—need to know an incident is in progress. If the

attacker compromised your organization’s infrastructure, emailing or chatting with these people may be risky. Follow operational security best practices. Suppose your contingency plan calls for using an organization credit card to register a business account in a cloud-based environment not associated

in plain sight. This inherent tension has operational consequences. Over the decades, dirty tricksters in various intelligence agencies, Western and Eastern, have discovered that tight operational security is neither cost-effective nor desirable, for both partial and delayed exposure may actually serve the interests of the attacker. It is not an accident

private intelligence firm named Secureworks published a stunning finding. The firm had discovered what would later be recognized as one of the GRU’s gravest operational security mistakes, one that became clear only when investigators finally figured out the mechanics of the Russian campaign. The remarkable discovery began with an email not

The Internet Research Agency, the best-known and prime example, worked more like a spammy call center than a tight intelligence agency, with limited operational security, very limited presence on the ground in its target area, and no known operational coordination with Russian intelligence.
