• Key Concepts: 
  Investigation in SAP Enterprise Threat Detection (BC-ETD) is the process of analyzing and understanding the context of a security incident. It involves gathering evidence, analyzing data, and determining the root cause of the incident. The goal of an investigation is to identify the source of the incident and take corrective action to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
  
  How to use it: 
  When a security incident occurs, the first step is to initiate an investigation. This involves collecting evidence, such as log files, system configurations, and user activity logs. Once the evidence has been collected, it should be analyzed to determine the root cause of the incident. This analysis should include identifying any malicious actors or activities that may have caused the incident. Once the root cause has been identified, corrective action can be taken to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When conducting an investigation, it is important to document all steps taken and evidence collected. This will help ensure that all relevant information is available for review and analysis. Additionally, it is important to involve all relevant stakeholders in the investigation process to ensure that all perspectives are taken into account when determining the root cause of an incident.
