Defense Evasion (Disabling Security) Incident Response

This download includes the 6clicks Incident Response playbook for Defense Evasion (Disabling Security Software)

The purpose of a Cyber Security Playbook, or Security Playbook, is to provide all members of an organisation with a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities regarding cybersecurity – before, during and after a security incident.

Defense Evasion consists of techniques that adversaries use to avoid detection throughout their compromise. Techniques used for defense evasion include uninstalling/disabling security software or obfuscating/encrypting data and scripts. Adversaries also leverage and abuse trusted processes to hide and masquerade their malware.

Remember: If you face an incident, follow IRM, take notes, and do not panic. Contact your CERT immediately if needed.

6 steps are defined to handle security Incidents:

• Preparation: get ready to handle the incident
• Identification: detect the incident
• Containment: limit the impact of the incident
• Remediation: remove the threat
• Recovery: recover to a normal stage
• Aftermath: draw up and improve the process
