Episode 50 — Logs and Alerts Triage: Prioritization, Enrichment, and Next-Best Questions (Task 8)
This episode focuses on triage as a structured decision process: prioritize what matters, enrich what is missing, and ask the next-best questions that move you toward resolution. You will learn how to classify alerts by asset criticality, exposure, and potential impact, and how to avoid wasting time on low-value noise without ignoring real threats. We will discuss enrichment techniques such as adding identity context, asset inventory details, known-bad intelligence, and recent change history, because many exam scenarios hinge on selecting the enrichment step that clarifies ambiguity. You will also hear how to form strong investigative questions, like determining scope, verifying persistence, and identifying whether activity is authorized. The exam often rewards candidates who can triage efficiently and defensibly, using process discipline instead of gut instinct.
