Preparing for Industrial Cyber Response: What to Have in Your Incident Response Toolkit
Summary: Dragos describes how industrial incident response requires different equipment than enterprise IR, dividing kits into three categories and recommending organizations mix go-bag, centralized fly-away, and site-specific gear. The post stresses that responders must plan to collect and analyze systems up to 20 years old with very limited hardware resources, and that PPE such as composite toe shoes, fire-resistant clothing, hard hats, hearing protection, eye protection, or respirators must be fitted and on hand before an incident.
Key Takeaway: Responders who arrive without fitted PPE or the cables and adapters for two-decade-old systems lose costly time on training and setup before any forensics begin, and some special-order safety gear will not arrive in time for emergency response.
