In Phishing Attack Investigation Playbook: SOC Analyst 8-Step Guide, Checklist & Tools:

Investigate phishing emails faster, with a workflow you can follow every time.
Phishing is still one of the most common ways attackers gain access to credentials, sensitive data and internal systems. When a suspicious email lands in your queue, you need a repeatable process, not guesswork. The Phishing Attack Investigation: SOC Analyst Playbook gives you exactly that, in a clean, visual PDF you can keep beside you during every shift.
This playbook breaks a phishing investigation into 8 practical steps. You start by identifying the suspicious email and its red flags, then analyze the sender and email headers for spoofing, routing and origin. Next you inspect URLs and attachments safely, using sandboxes and antivirus tools instead of risking a live workstation. You then check domains, IP addresses and reputation, search your SIEM logs for related activity and identify affected users and systems. Finally you contain the threat and document your findings in a proper incident report.
What you get:
A visual 8-step investigation workflow
A guide to common phishing indicators, with real examples like look-alike domains and unexpected attachments
A categorized list of useful tools, including SIEM platforms, threat intelligence, email analysis, URL analysis, sandbox and domain lookup resources
