A team has a playbook that performs endpoint isolation. They now need to reuse this same isolation logic in three different incident-type playbooks. To avoid duplicating the isolation steps, they want to create a single reusable component that can be invoked from each of the three playbooks. Which task type should they use in the three parent playbooks?

A conditional task that checks if the endpoint is already isolated

A regular task that runs the isolation command directly in each playbook

A playbook task that calls the endpoint isolation sub-playbook

A section header task that groups the isolation steps in each playbook

A team has a complex playbook that performs URL reputation checks, file detonation, and endpoint containment. They want to break this into smaller, manageable components that can be tested independently and reused in other playbooks. Which approach should they take?

Create separate sub-playbooks for URL reputation, file detonation, and endpoint containment, and invoke them with playbook tasks

Keep all tasks in a single playbook and use section headers to separate the phases

Use conditional tasks to skip the parts that are not needed for each incident

Use data collection tasks to let the analyst choose which parts to run
