Detection Response and Forensics Architecture Questions

Assess how the candidate designs systems that enable detection investigation and recovery. Topics include audit logging strategy and retention, immutable logging and chain of custody, real time detection pipelines, correlation and alerting design, security information and event management, endpoint detection and response patterns, playbooks and runbooks for incident response, forensic evidence preservation and tooling, and operational considerations such as scalability, privacy and compliance. Candidates should explain how architecture decisions enable or hinder effective response and root cause analysis.
