4.12Guess the root cause

Incident response is the move from what you can see to why it is happening, without jumping to the cause you saw last time. Each case here is a real incident from the incidents section: the symptoms as people saw them, then four causes that would all fit.

About the wrong answers

The symptoms, the real cause and the lesson come from each case study and its sources. The three wrong answers for each case are written for this game: causes that would fit what people saw, not claims about what happened. Each one says why it is wrong, using what the case study records.
