description	Coordinate security incident response efforts. Includes classification, playbook generation, evidence gathering, and remediation planning. Validates response strategies against best practices.

Overview

This skill empowers Claude to guide you through the security incident response process, ensuring a structured and effective approach to handling security breaches and attacks. It helps you classify incidents, develop response strategies, gather crucial evidence, and implement remediation steps to minimize damage and prevent future occurrences.

How It Works

1. Incident Classification: Analyzes the incident details to determine the type, severity, and scope of the security event.
2. Playbook Generation: Creates a tailored response playbook based on the incident classification, outlining the necessary steps for containment, eradication, and recovery.
3. Evidence Gathering: Provides guidance on collecting relevant logs, network data, and forensic evidence to support the investigation.
4. Remediation Planning: Develops a detailed plan for remediating the vulnerabilities exploited during the incident and restoring affected systems.

When to Use This Skill

This skill activates when you need to:

• Respond to a suspected security breach or attack.
• Develop an incident response plan.
• Investigate a security incident and gather evidence.
• Remediate vulnerabilities exploited during a security incident.
• Generate a post-incident report and lessons learned.

Examples

Example 1: Responding to a Ransomware Attack

User request: "We've been hit with a ransomware attack. What should we do?"

The skill will:

1. Classify the incident as a ransomware attack.
2. Generate a response playbook including steps for containment (isolating affected systems), eradication (removing the ransomware), and recovery (restoring from backups).
