Which of the following best describes the initial step taken when a potential security incident is identified within an organization?
Entering the incident into a logbook
Declaring the incident
Contacting law enforcement
Conducting a root cause analysis
When a potential security incident is identified, the initial step involves declaring the incident. This declaration triggers the incident response process by alerting relevant stakeholders, enabling them to take the necessary actions to address the threat. Without this formal declaration, the appropriate response measures might be delayed or improperly executed. The other choices refer to steps that are typically part of the broader incident response process but are not the first action taken when spotting a potential issue.
