A security analyst is drafting an incident report for a recently contained malware outbreak. The analyst is focused on detailing which servers were compromised, what user accounts were accessed, and which specific databases were exfiltrated. According to the incident response reporting framework, which component of the report is the analyst currently documenting?
In the context of incident response, 'Scope' refers to determining the extent of the impact of a security incident, which includes identifying all affected systems, networks, data, and user accounts. The analyst in the scenario is documenting these specific details. The other options are distinct parts of the incident response process. The timeline details the sequence of events, root cause analysis identifies the ultimate reason for the breach, and containment strategies are the actions taken to stop the incident from spreading.
