// Sample question
You suspect ransomware on a domain controller at 2am. What are your first three actions?
1) Isolate the host from the network but keep it powered on to preserve memory. 2) Capture volatile memory and a triage image before any reboot. 3) Notify the IR lead and start a comms timeline — assume the attacker has Domain Admin and plan password resets and Kerberos ticket invalidation in parallel.
