Ever wondered how DHS, CYBERCOM and other federal cyber security agencies handle specific incident response? Well, you are in luck. Jason Healey, author of Above My Pay Grade – Incident Response at the National Level, explains the challenges and successes in tackling cyber incidents from the federal government’s perspective. Healey, director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative of the Atlantic Council and creator of the first Computer Emergency Response Team that coordinated the response to incidents affecting the finance sector, provides an outstanding written account of the obstacles for today’s incident response handlers.
