Incident Response Playbook
Create a comprehensive IR playbook documenting detection, containment, eradication, and recovery procedures.
📋 Overview
When a breach happens, you don't rise to the occasion—you fall to your level of training. This project requires you to document IR procedures for common scenarios.
🔨 Playbook Structure
Scenario 1: Ransomware Outbreak
Detection: EDR alert + mass file encryption
Containment: Isolate affected hosts from network
Eradication: Wipe & reimage compromised systems
Recovery: Restore from backups, validate integrity
Scenario 2: Credential Compromise
Detection: Impossible travel / MFA fatigue
Containment: Revoke sessions, force password reset
Investigation: Review access logs for lateral movement
Scenario 3: Data Exfiltration
Detection: DLP alert / unusual egress traffic
Forensics: Packet capture + log analysis
Notification: Legal, PR, affected customers (GDPR)
