Cloud incidents move fast. An attacker with a leaked access key can enumerate the account in minutes and begin exfiltration. Response time matters. This module covers a practitioner-grade cloud IR workflow — what to do in the first 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 24 hours after suspecting compromise.
Cloud incidents move fast. An attacker with a leaked access key can enumerate the account in minutes and begin exfiltration. Response time matters. This module covers a practitioner-grade cloud IR workflow — what to do in the first 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 24 hours after suspecting compromise.
The cloud-specific challenges
- Speed — API-based actions execute in seconds. Exfil via CopyObject / CreateDBSnapshot is fast
- Immutability of action — once data is copied out, you can’t undo
- Cross-region / cross-account pivoting — attacker may move to low-monitored regions
- Credentials vs compute — cloud IR differs from host-level IR (no endpoint to isolate)
- Forensic state — attacker may delete CloudTrail, S3 versions, snapshots
