Cloud Detection & Response for Dummies

Individuals, companies, and cloud service providers host an astonishing (and growing) amount of data in the cloud, including customer data, healthcare information, financial records, social accounts, and more. And although the cloud offers numerous advantages, it also poses unique cybersecurity challenges for security operations teams.  

That’s why implementing and automating end-to-end cloud detection and response (CDR) processes is so critical. SecOps teams need a comprehensive approach to CDR to cut through the noise generated by cloud environments and detect, investigate, and contain emerging threats in real time – before they impact the business.  

 In this guide, we’ll introduce the key aspects of CDR, including deeper dives into:  

• The unique challenges of threat detection and response in a cloud environment 

• Preparing for cloud attacks 

• Detecting attacks in real time 

• Investigating incidents 

• Containing and responding to threats 

• Best practices for CDR
