Domain 4.8 — The 5 phases every analyst must know.
How Danny's ghost sense maps to real-world detection tools.
Danny's Ghost Sense tingles when a ghost is near — this is passive detection, like an IDS (Intrusion Detection System). It alerts but doesn't act automatically. When Danny actively hunts ghosts, he becomes an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) — he intercepts and blocks threats in real time.
SIEM correlates multiple ghost sightings (log sources) to identify patterns. Tucker's PDA/laptop is the SIEM console — aggregating alerts from Danny's ghost sense, the Fenton Ghost Scanner, and news reports.
Key tools: Ghost Catcher (EDR) · Fenton Thermos (containment/quarantine) · Specter Speeder (jump server for Ghost Zone access) · Fenton Portal (network gateway with authentication)
Domain 5.1 — Who owns what in Amity Park's security org chart?
Internal vs External reporting — what, when, and to whom.
Danny reports ghost breaches to Jazz (mental health/awareness), Jack & Maddie (technical response), and Tucker/Sam (operations team). Immediate reporting to the Security team. Log all incidents in the Fenton Ghost Log within 1 hour of detection.
Major ghost attacks on Amity Park infrastructure require reporting to GIW (Governmental cyber authorities) within 72 hours (GDPR-style). Public announcements coordinated via Mayor Montez. Regulatory bodies notified when critical infrastructure is impacted.
Immediate: Contain active ghost breach.
1 hour: Internal team notified.
24 hours: Management briefed.
72 hours: External regulators (if applicable).
30 days: Final post-incident report.
Every incident logged with: timestamp, threat actor (ghost name), attack vector, affected systems, containment actions, eradication steps, chain of custody for any ghost evidence, and remediation recommendations.
Domain 4.8 — What Danny learns after every ghost battle.
After the Ghost Writer incident, Danny learned not to destroy evidence impulsively. Post-incident reviews identify root causes and process gaps. Every ghost battle = a tabletop exercise debrief.
Mean Time To Detect (MTTD) ghost incursions. Mean Time To Respond (MTTR). Number of ghost escapes (false negatives). Fenton Portal uptime (availability metric). Thermos capacity utilization.
Sam updates the ghost-fighting playbooks. Tucker patches ghost detection software. Jazz delivers security awareness training to Amity Park citizens. Jack & Maddie update the Fenton Works security architecture based on lessons learned.
Each incident drives updates to: access control policies (who can use the Ghost Portal), monitoring rules (new ghost signatures in the SIEM), containment procedures (better Thermos protocols), and vendor assessments (FrightStuff.com supply chain).
