Incident Handling and Response

Detection without response is just watching things burn. This is about what happens after the alert fires — the IR workflow, containment decisions, and the communication chain that separates a good incident response from a career-ending one.

🎯 What We'll Cover
- NIST IR lifecycle — Preparation → Detection → Containment → Eradication → Recovery → Lessons Learned
- Containment decisions — isolate the host vs. preserve the evidence
- Timeline reconstruction — building the attack story from logs
- Incident communication — what to tell leadership and when
- Lessons learned and post-incident report structure
