Endpoint Security · Detection DesignCrowdStrike

3Frameworks

Framework

How was the breach initially detected and what is the scope?

Detection mechanism and timeline confirmation?

SIEM alert triggered at 14:22 UTC (T+0)

Lateral movement detected 42 minutes before alert

Data exposure quantification and affected systems?

2.3M customer records potentially accessed (10 hrs window)

8 production servers with validated compromise

What is the business and regulatory impact?

Operational and financial impact assessment?

3-hour service degradation during investigation

Estimated customer notification: $4–6M + reputation risk

Regulatory obligations and incident notification requirements?

GDPR notification required within 72 hours

Fallout: potential €10M+ fine if data safeguards deemed inadequate

How do you isolate the threat and prevent further compromise?

Immediate containment and access revocation?

Isolate 8 affected servers from network (T+15min)

Revoke 127 potentially compromised service accounts

Threat hunting and persistence mechanism removal?

3 backdoors detected across production infrastructure

Lateral movement via unpatched VMware CVE (60-day-old zero-day)

What is your recovery and hardening strategy?

System restoration from clean backups and data validation?

14-hour full restoration from T-24h backups

Forensic validation: zero anomalies in restored data

Infrastructure hardening and control improvements?

Deploy zero-trust network segmentation across production

Patch velocity: all CVEs within 48h vs. 14-day SLA
