The primary goal of the containment phase in an incident response is to limit the damage caused by the incident and prevent further compromise. This may involve isolating affected systems, restricting network access, or applying temporary fixes to halt the spread of the attack. This step is essential to stabilize the environment before proceeding to eradication and recovery efforts. Other options like eliminating threats and recovering systems pertain to later stages in the incident response process.
