Following the point of view provided by FireEye experts:

"The containment and remediation process has up until now been a primarily manual
human process, but lots of vendors FireEye partners with today are seeking to redress
the balance by automating the containment and forensics parts with software products.
The pain is recognized that skilled humans do not scale and sadly not every
organization has the budget to spend on this."

The incident response procedure is essential for small business and large
organizations, independently of the type of menace and the nature of the attackers.

It is quite impossible to recognizing every cyber threat and mitigate it, but it's absolutely
crucial a mature approach to cyber security that is composed also of an efficient
incident response plan that makes system resilience to survive cyber attacks and
quickly recover from an incident.

"Building out an incident response capability is something that should be on your list of
actions for 2014!"
