Cyber IR Playbook

Overview

Convert incident events into a standardized response timeline and phase-based report.

Workflow

1. Ingest incident events with timestamps.
2. Classify events into detection, containment, eradication, recovery, or post-incident phases.
3. Build ordered timeline and summarize current phase completion.
4. Produce a report artifact for internal and executive audiences.

Use Bundled Resources

• Run scripts/ir_timeline_report.py to generate a deterministic timeline report.
• Read references/ir-phase-guide.md for phase mapping guidance.

Guardrails

• Focus on defensive incident handling and post-incident learning.
• Do not provide offensive exploitation instructions.
