During an incident response, the cybersecurity team is required to draft a report for the organization's upper management. Which section of the report should concisely summarize the incident's impact, scope, and initial recommendations without going into technical detail?
The executive summary is a critical section of an incident response report that provides upper management with a concise overview of the incident, emphasizing key points such as impact, scope, and recommended actions. It allows executives to quickly understand the situation without needing to parse through technical details that might be included in other parts of the report. The other options are either too detailed for an executive summary or may not necessarily be included in every incident report at the executive summary level.
