What information is typically contained in a run book in Splunk ES context?

A run book in the context of Splunk Enterprise Security (ES) serves as a vital resource that provides detailed procedures for investigating and responding to specific alerts. This documentation is essential for incident response teams as it outlines the steps necessary to effectively handle security incidents, ensuring a swift and consistent approach.

The information typically included in a run book covers guidelines for analysts on how to interpret alerts, the tools and queries to use for further investigation, and the steps to take for remediation. This structured approach helps in maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs) which can enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the security team when managing alerts.

While the other options are useful in different contexts, they do not align with the primary purpose of a run book. Technical specifications of hardware, user permissions, and data backup processes are important aspects of IT management but do not provide the actionable response framework that a run book is specifically designed for in the Splunk ES environment.
