Purpose The purpose of this project is to show the steps used to detect, analyze, contain, eradicate, and recover from a security incident. Incident Response Steps 1. Preparation - Create security policies - Train employees - Set up monitoring tools - Prepare communication procedures 2. Detection and Analysis - Review security alerts - Analyze logs - Identify suspicious activity - Determine the severity of the incident 3. Containment - Isolate affected systems - Block malicious IP addresses - Disable compromised accounts - Prevent the incident from spreading 4. Eradication - Remove malware - Fix vulnerabilities - Apply security patches - Reset compromised credentials 5. Recovery - Restore systems from clean backups - Monitor systems after recovery - Confirm that normal operations are safe 6. Lessons Learned - Document what happened - Review response actions - Improve security controls - Update the incident response plan Tools Mentioned - Splunk - IBM QRadar - Wireshark - Nessus - CrowdStrike - MITRE ATT&CK Skills Demonstrated - Incident response - Log analysis - Risk assessment - Threat detection - Cybersecurity documentation - www.linkedin.com/in/oluchi-e-igboerika - https://github.com/Oluchiigboerika
