Incident Containment and Eradication

The primary objective of ICE is to contain and eradicate an incident to prevent its further spread and minimize its impact on the organization.

Preparation and Readiness is not a common phase in the ICE process. The typical phases include Detection and Analysis, Containment and Eradication, and Recovery and Restoration.

The primary purpose of conducting a thorough incident investigation is to determine the root cause of the incident, understand how it occurred, and identify any vulnerabilities that need to be addressed.

Network segmentation, disabling affected systems, and implementing access controls are all common containment strategies used to prevent the spread of an incident.

The primary goal of eradication in the ICE process is to remove the malicious code or threat actor from the affected systems, thereby eliminating the threat and restoring normal operations.

System restore is not a common eradication technique used to remove malicious code from affected systems. Common eradication techniques include antivirus software, manual removal, and reimaging.

The purpose of conducting a post-incident review is to evaluate the effectiveness of the ICE response, identify areas for improvement in the ICE process, and document the incident for future reference.

Ignoring security alerts and notifications is not a common best practice for incident containment and eradication. It is important to promptly investigate and respond to security alerts and notifications to minimize the impact of potential incidents.

The primary responsibility of an IRT during an incident is to coordinate the response, conduct the incident investigation, and implement containment and eradication measures.

An abundance of skilled cybersecurity professionals is not a common challenge faced during incident containment and eradication. In fact, there is often a shortage of skilled professionals in this field.

The purpose of conducting regular security awareness training for employees is to educate them about common security threats and risks, teach them how to respond to security incidents, and reinforce the importance of following security policies and procedures.

System upgrade is not a common type of security incident. Common security incidents include malware infection, phishing attack, and denial-of-service attack.

The primary goal of incident recovery and restoration is to restore affected systems to their normal state, ensuring that they are fully functional and secure.

Ignoring security alerts and notifications is not a common best practice for incident recovery and restoration. It is important to promptly investigate and respond to security alerts and notifications to minimize the impact of potential incidents.

The purpose of conducting a post-recovery review is to evaluate the effectiveness of the recovery process, identify areas for improvement in the recovery plan, and document the recovery process for future reference.
