Life of an Incident

Pasquale Stirparo

The security industry focuses a great deal on defense, detection and investigation of advanced threats. Once an attacker is on your network, it's imperative to have a formal and repeatable plan to quickly get them back out! This talk explores how Google performs incident management and remediation at scale, adapting the techniques of disaster management professionals and modern open source tools to achieve lightning-fast, efficient response cycles and push the envelope in the field of Incident Response.

This seminar is co-hosted with the Centre for Technology and Global Affairs
