ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) Practice Question
An organization discovers malware rapidly replicating on its internal network. Which response action belongs to the containment phase of the incident response process?
Identify the vulnerability that allowed the malware to enter.
Hold a debrief meeting to discuss lessons learned.
Patch all systems and reimage compromised servers.
Disconnect infected hosts from the network to stop further propagation.
During containment, responders act immediately to stop an incident from spreading or worsening. Physically or logically isolating infected hosts halts further malware propagation, buying time for eradication and recovery steps. Investigating the entry point is part of analysis, patching and re-imaging fall under eradication and recovery, and the debrief occurs during post-incident activities-none of which are objectives of the containment phase.
