Problem Statement
What tools and process would you employ during a system security incident response in a corporate environment?
Explanation
In an incident response scenario you would use tools like EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) to isolate systems, memory forensics on compromised hosts, SIEM to aggregate logs and trigger alerts, network packet capture for traffic analysis, and a run-book process to contain, eradicate and recover. You’d also document chain-of-custody, preserve evidence and communicate with stakeholders. Understanding both tools and process shows you are ready for system security operations.
