Cloud Incident Response Metrics

Key metrics for cloud IR programs:

Time to detect cloud-specific threats
API call to response time
Resource isolation speed
Evidence collection completeness
Cost per incident
Automation percentage

Cloud incident response requires adapting traditional methodologies to leverage cloud-native capabilities while addressing unique challenges. By understanding provider-specific tools, implementing automation, and maintaining proper evidence collection procedures, organizations can effectively respond to incidents in cloud environments. The next chapter explores mobile device forensics, another critical area in modern incident response.## Mobile Device Forensics

Mobile devices have become primary targets for attackers seeking access to corporate networks, sensitive data, and personal information. This chapter provides comprehensive guidance on conducting forensic examinations of smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. From understanding mobile operating systems to extracting and analyzing data, we'll explore the tools and techniques necessary for successful mobile forensics in incident response scenarios.
