Situations Aftermath was actually built to handle.
Four real scenarios, not a hypothetical feature tour. Each one is the reason a specific part of Aftermath exists.
The reinfection loop
A machine gets cleaned, but something comes back a few weeks later. Nobody knows if it's a new infection or the same one that never fully left.
A saved Drift baseline flags exactly what changed since the last clean scan — the new scheduled task, the modified run key — instead of a fresh full investigation.
The real reinfection vector, instead of a second guessing game.
The uncertain cleanup
Defender says "threat removed" and closes the notification. There's no visibility into whether anything else is still on the machine.
Detections, Exposure, and History lay out everything Defender caught and what's still present, in one view.
Confidence the cleanup is actually done — not just quiet.
Several machines, one person
One person is responsible for several machines and there's no budget for a full EDR platform to watch all of them.
Sweep pushes the same triage to a host list — agentless, no software to deploy ahead of time, no standing account.
The same visibility across several machines, without a new platform to buy. See Sweep →
Closing the ticket
Cleanup was done, but there's nothing to show for it afterward — no record of what was found or removed.
Pro and Max tiers export a branded PDF report straight from a session.
A record that closes the ticket, instead of a memory of what happened. See Reporting →
