ISC2 Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) Practice Question
A cloud provider's security operations center detects a burst of unauthorized API calls against several tenants. An analyst logs the event as an incident in the ITIL-aligned ticketing system. According to standard incident management workflow, which activity should the analyst perform next to ensure appropriate response and resource allocation while minimizing impact on affected tenants?
Apply the predefined categorization and determine its priority based on impact and urgency.
Close the incident once the API calls have stopped to free response resources.
Begin a detailed root-cause analysis of the unauthorized API activity.
Escalate the ticket directly to problem management for long-term corrective action.
In ITIL-based incident management, once an incident is identified and logged, the next required step is to categorize and prioritize it. Categorization assigns the incident to the correct type (e.g., security, service outage) and priority combines impact and urgency to drive agreed response times. Escalation to problem management, root-cause analysis, or closure occur later in the lifecycle, after initial prioritization and assignment have been completed.
