The First Few Steps You’ll Try During a Cyberattack — A CyberDudeBivash Guide

1. Introduction

In the heat of a cyberattack, every second counts. The way you respond in the first 15–30 minutes can decide whether your organization suffers complete compromise or manages to contain the breach.

At CyberDudeBivash, we’ve prepared a Google-proof, AdSense-rich, SEO-pro, high CPC guide on the critical first steps during a cyberattack, blending incident response best practices with real-world SOC playbooks.

We’ll cover:

What to do immediately when an attack hits
How to triage and confirm the scope
Steps to contain the threat before it spreads
Communication and escalation flow
Affiliate-linked tools to speed up response

And as always, this guide is published under full CyberDudeBivash authority.

2. Step 1: Detect & Confirm the Attack

Before jumping into response, confirm the incident:

Check EDR/IDS alerts.
Look for suspicious network activity (spikes, TOR traffic, unknown IPs).
Validate IoCs with threat intelligence feeds.

Use Prisma Cloud to detect anomalies in workloads and networks.

3. Step 2: Contain the Breach

Isolate infected endpoints (disconnect from network).
Disable compromised accounts immediately.
Block suspicious IPs and domains at firewall.

HashiCorp Vault prevents attackers from escalating by protecting stolen secrets.

4. Step 3: Communicate Internally

Alert SOC team, incident response lead, and management.
Do not spread panic — follow escalation matrix.
Document everything from the first minute.

5. Step 4: Preserve Evidence

Take forensic disk/memory images.
Capture logs from firewalls, EDR, SIEM.
Avoid rebooting compromised systems unless necessary.

Aqua Security helps in runtime forensics in containerized environments.

6. Step 5: Analyze & Decide

Identify attack vector (phishing, exploit, insider).
Determine scope (users, systems, data impacted).
Decide on containment vs eradication vs recovery strategy.
