Threat Detection and Response (TDR) is a critical component of an organization's cybersecurity strategy focused on identifying, analyzing, and mitigating security threats in real time. The goal of TDR is to promptly detect malicious activities, understand their nature, and respond effectively to minimize potential damage.
How Threat Detection and Response (TDR) Works:
1. Data Collection: Aggregates data from various sources (network, endpoints, etc.) using SIEM and log management tools.
2. Threat Detection: Monitors for suspicious activities using IDS and Behavioral Analytics, identifying known threats via Indicators of Compromise (IoCs).
3. Threat Analysis: Correlates and investigates data to assess threat nature and severity.
4. Incident Response:
– Containment: Isolates the threat.
– Eradication: Removes the threat.
– Recovery: Restores normal operations.
5. Forensics: Analyzes the incident to understand the attack and improve future defenses.
1. Early Detection: Identify threats as soon as they appear to prevent or minimize damage.
2. Effective Analysis: Assess the nature and severity of threats to understand their impact.
3. Rapid Response: Implement measures to contain, eradicate, and recover from threats swiftly.
4. Continuous Improvement: Learn from incidents to refine detection and response strategies.
