[SC-100] Simplified explanation of technical response to incidents
While perusing a study guide for SC-100 exam, I came across a really nice and succinct explanation for technical response. It's one of my favorite quotes now:
(...) there are two key goals that every incident response should aim to address from a technical perspective. The first is identifying the scope of the attack (...) Secondly it can be helpful to attempt to identify the objective of an attack.

Admittedly, the statements and strategy here is pretty obvious but that's also why I like it. Sometime simplicity is a good thing; especially when attempting to achieve a more complex goal like security oversight.
