Prepare and identify
Define contacts, critical assets and responsibilities before an incident. Gather authorized evidence and corroborate signals. Suspicion should be documented without prematurely claiming compromise.
Contain and investigate
Choose proportionate containment with business, legal and evidence needs in mind. Remove a validated cause through an approved process, not blind cleanup that destroys context.
Recover and learn
Validate restoration sources and controls, monitor through established procedures and record lessons. Response sequences vary by context; a browser exercise is not a real incident plan.
