What is an Investigation?
An Investigation is the act of ascertaining facts
A careful examination
Or simply it answers: “What do I do?”
And there is a result……..sometimes
What Initiates an Investigation?
Someone asks you
• Hey I think PlayStation network is down?
You see something unusual
• Ever get that feeling someone is watching you?
• Certain patterns of logs
• New Assets
Alarms!
• More..
..but what does it all mean?
What is an Alarm?
An alarm is a pattern of activity that should be investigated
• The logic that creates an alarm is customizable
Inside a SIEM an alarm could be
• A single event
• A series of events
• Event quantity
• ..and more
Process of an Investigation
Gather Information
Follow the trail
Look for Clues
Determine severity
Am I Finished?
Do you know what to do?
What does the IRP say?
Hint: no you aren’t
Document it!
If it’s not in a Ticket– it didn’t happen!
Why is Documentation Important?

Recap
It’s important to know what the alarm is
Use search filters to help you prioritize investigations
Use policy to filter alarms you don’t need to re-investigate
Even though it’s familiar you still need to investigate
Have a plan for what you could find (IRP)
Write stuff down….
