Abstract

Based on the X-Force Threat Intelligence Index 2021, last year saw an increase in new Linux malware families; hence 2020 was dubbed as the Year of the Linux threat. Threat actors that previously targeted Windows systems are now including Linux malware in their arsenal. If your system becomes the target and you have a full-blown incident, what do you do? If you’re unsure, join Gyle as she talks about how an Incident Response (IR) process unfolds and why your incident responder keeps asking you for certain artefacts.
