Run digital forensics and incident response — triage, evidence acquisition with chain of custody, host and cloud artifact analysis, timeline reconstruction, scoping, containment, eradication, and postmortem. Use during a suspected compromise, when analyzing a disk or memory image, reconstructing an attacker timeline, or answering how far an intrusion spread.

# Responding to Incidents

Two questions drive every incident: **how far did they get**, and **are they
still here**. Everything else — the malware, the CVE, the root cause — is
supporting detail. Answer those two in order and the response follows.

## When to Use

- Suspected or confirmed compromise of a host, account, or cloud tenant
- Forensic analysis of a disk image, memory capture, or log set
- Reconstructing what an attacker did and when
- Scoping blast radius and deciding containment
- Writing a postmortem or a regulator/customer-facing incident narrative
