There are many options for storage mediums, but by storing data in the Amazon AWS ecosystem your team can leverage many of the AWS services to store, process, and collaborate on incident response activities, enabling your team to scale response efforts. One significant challenge I’ve experienced performing incident response is working with the large amounts of data needed by responders storage mechanisms need to be accessible, fast, secure, and allow integrations with post-processing tools. When an incident occurs, time is everything. If you need help configuring Cyberduck to upload your files via S3 contact our support team from your Sirv account.Leveraging AWS for Incident Response: Part 1 You can permanently save the connection to your Sirv account as a Bookmark.
