Hi Tony, I would suggest doing some heavy reading first. Familiarize yourself with what are the recommended best practices, and then tailor to your organization. Here are a few places for you to start. National Institute of Standards and Technology: Guide to Incident Handling http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/nistpubs/800-61-rev1/SP800-61rev1.pdf Carnegie Mellon university CERT. http://www.cert.org/archive/pdf/csirt-handbook.pdf Jason Hurst Sr. Network Security Administrator Panda Restaurant Group jason.hurst () pandarg com Please consider the environment before printing this email -----Original Message----- From: listbounce () securityfocus com [mailto:listbounce () securityfocus com] On Behalf Of Tony Raboza Sent: Wednesday, November 11, 2009 5:32 AM To: security-basics () securityfocus com Subject: Security Incident Handling / Organization Hi all, Recently I posted regarding a possible "Zombie / Botnet" that I discovered. Anyway - my company does not have yet any IT security group - that's why sometimes its quite hard to do incident handling/analysis. I am one of the Systems and Network Administrator and IT security is a subset of our work. We have lots of remote offices and we have IT Helpdesk in most of them. I'm proposing to our company that an IT security group be formed. For example: You have a workstation broadcasting abnormal high UDP traffic. The IT security group goes in and investigates. They pull out workstation if needed be. IT Helpdesk issues a service unit so that user can continue working. Is this correct? What do you think? What is the recommended best practice? Thanks.
