The discussion in this podcast outlines a comprehensive incident response playbook specifically for the OSI Presentation Layer (Layer 6), a critical component responsible for data formatting, compression, and encryption. It begins by introducing the Presentation Layer's role and functions, explaining how it ensures interoperability, security, and efficiency in network communications through protocols like SSL/TLS, JPEG, and XML. The playbook then details various vulnerabilities and threats that target this layer, including encryption-related attacks, data format exploits, and compression-based attacks. Finally, it provides a structured incident response framework—following the NIST model—with prerequisites, workflows, checklists, and specific playbooks for common scenarios such as SSL/TLS misconfiguration and CRIME/BREACH attacks, guiding cybersecurity professionals through detection, containment, eradication, and recovery.
