Restart Computer

There are cases where the incident response team might need to manually restart the remote computer:

  • To manually reduce the attack surface, the incident response team might need to restart the target computer to release certain files and processes. For example, when you install operating system or application patches, when you update certain critical tools installed on the computer, such as the security solution to improve its threat detection capabilities, etc.

  • When the computer is not working correctly.

To restart a computer, select Restart computer in the context menu associated with the relevant entity of interest.
