During an ongoing cyber incident, the security team has identified the source of the breach and patched the exploited vulnerability. What should be the next step to complete the remediation process?
Initiate monitoring to detect potential new incidents.
Report the incident to senior management and prepare a detailed incident report.
Begin the recovery process by restoring services to normal operations.
Re-evaluate affected systems for any remaining threats.
After securing the environment by patching the vulnerability, it is essential to validate that the threat has been fully eradicated. This typically involves performing a thorough re-evaluation of the affected systems to ensure no residual malicious activity is present. Simply monitoring for new incidents or moving to recovery without this step could result in overlooking remaining threats.
