SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides expert recommendations for containing active security threats, ensuring minimal disruption to production systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Threat Containment Strategy: Recommends precise containment actions for 10 threat types (e.g., ransomware, credential exposure).
  • Impact Assessment: Evaluates blast radius, production impact, and reversibility before recommending action.
  • Use Case: When ransomware is detected spreading, this Skill will recommend isolating affected segments and disabling service accounts, while clearly stating the potential impact on critical services.

Quick Start

Recommend containment for a ransomware event affecting file-server-01 and file-server-02.

FAQPage Schema
What is the best way to contain an active security incident without disrupting production?

Threat containment strategies prioritize minimal production impact and reversibility by analyzing threat type, blast radius, and active status. This approach recommends primary and secondary actions like isolating affected segments or disabling service accounts while stating potential critical service impacts.

How do I respond to ransomware spreading across file servers?

To respond to spreading ransomware, containment actions include isolating affected network segments and disabling compromised service accounts. The system evaluates the blast radius and active threat status to recommend targeted isolation and credential management actions.

When do I need human approval for security automation and containment actions?

Human approval is required for all mutating containment intents, specifically requiring authorization from soc_lead and ciso roles. Mutating categories include credential_operation, network_change, and remediation_action, ensuring critical infrastructure changes have oversight.

Can I use this approach to manage credential exposure during an incident?

Yes, managing credential exposure is handled through credential_operation containment actions. The system classifies and recommends specific credential management strategies as primary or secondary actions based on the assessed threat type and blast radius.

Does incident response containment require evaluating blast radius before taking action?

Yes, evaluating blast radius is required before recommending action to ensure minimal production impact. The impact assessment analyzes the blast radius, production impact, and reversibility of the threat to determine the appropriate containment strategy.
