Traditional incident response defends the enterprise network with tools such as anti-virus and intrusion detection systems (IDS). It focuses on vulnerabilities, but some threat actor goals, and sophistication have rendered this insufficient. These threats, including advanced persistent threats (APT), are prepared to conduct multi-year intrusion campaigns and use advanced tools and techniques to defeat most conventional computer network defenses.
