Create Account (Backdoor User Accounts) Incident Response

This download includes the 6clicks Incident Response playbook for Backdoor User Accounts

The purpose of a Cyber Security Playbook, or Security Playbook, is to provide all members of an organisation with a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities regarding cybersecurity – before, during and after a security incident.

Backdoors are a method for bypassing normal authentication systems and are used to secure remote access to a system. Backdoor admin account incidents surface event patterns that indicate an actor might have created or modified a configuration to enable the continued use of a privileged account.

Remember: If you face an incident, follow IRM, take notes, and do not panic. Contact your CERT immediately if needed.

6 steps are defined to handle security Incidents:

• Preparation: get ready to handle the incident
• Identification: detect the incident
• Containment: limit the impact of the incident
• Remediation: remove the threat
• Recovery: recover to a normal stage
• Aftermath: draw up and improve the process
