# Conducting Malware Incident Response

## When to Use

- EDR or antivirus detects malware execution on one or more endpoints
- A user reports suspicious system behavior indicative of malware infection
- Threat intelligence indicates a malware campaign targeting the organization's industry
- Network monitoring detects beaconing traffic consistent with known malware C2 patterns
- A file detonation in a sandbox returns a malicious verdict

**Do not use** for analyzing malware samples in a research context; use dedicated malware analysis procedures for reverse engineering.
