The 2018 SANS Incident Response Survey Report

The combination of increasing external threats and new enforcement regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), has left Incident Response (IR) teams to defend the perimeter of entire organizations. Nobody wants to make headline news for a data breach.

The 2018 SANS Incident Response Survey is a study of practices, perceptions and takeaways that evaluate the current state of IR. Based on the responses of more than 450 participants from a cross section of industries, job function, and geography, this survey comments on challenges, offers insights and highlights the current trends.
