Over the last year I've been sharing a framework and mindset for how to perform an investigation as an analyst during Incident Response.
I hope this serves as a great introduction to ADAPT, more to come!

After years of experience, trial & error and research, I finally put together my framework for analysts (IR , SOC, IT, if you investigated technical data this is for you).

I’ve always felt like there was a gap to teach analysts how to investigate no matter the evidence. No scenario specific playbook, no AI, no limited workflow only intended for niche evidence and no marketing wording that is difficult to interpret when the stress is on.

I know it’s not perfect, but I hope this provides the community something to work from, based on my years of IR experience. I am always open to feedback, changes or even something that might just need to be removed. If you try it out, I’d love to get your thoughts!

If you’d like to hear me ramble about what I do with @TalosSecurity
Terryn Valikodath never imagined that a childhood jailbreaking iPhones and exploring criminal forensics would land him in incident response. Hear him recount the journey in our latest episode: cs.co/6016Cxnao

After wayyyy too long. I've updated my DF/IR templates for documentation. I've added fictional examples within the docs so you can see a good reference and how it's intended.
