Security teams don’t usually struggle when it comes to EDR alerts; they struggle when it comes to details about the critical investigation that are spread across alerts, endpoint telemetry, user activity, process trees and threat intelligence.
When an alert comes in, it could be a sign of something suspicious, and the analysts must be fast to determine what, how, where and whether or not the threat has stepped beyond its original endpoint.
An organized list of EDR alerts aids analysts during triage and investigation to focus on the most important evidence. This data can help expedite investigations and aid in decision making for response. Process activity, user activity, command-line activity, persistence mechanisms and indicators of compromise (IOCs) are all key details that can be included.
Security teams can use this checklist to help determine the next actions to take, and the level of severity and scope of the alert when reviewing any EDR alert.
