ISC2 Systems Security Certified Practitioner (SSCP) Practice Question

During normal operations, an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) platform alerts a security administrator that a user's Windows 10 laptop has begun encrypting files across an SMB-mapped department share, strongly suggesting an active ransomware infection. According to the company's incident response plan, swift containment must precede eradication and recovery. Which immediate action should the administrator take to best contain the threat while preserving forensic evidence and limiting business disruption?

  • Call law enforcement before making any technical changes to ensure proper legal handling of the incident.

  • Immediately disable the laptop's network interfaces (unplug Ethernet and disable Wi-Fi) to isolate it from all network communication.

  • Power down the shared file server to stop the encryption process and prevent further data loss.

  • Initiate a full antivirus scan on the infected laptop to identify and clean the ransomware.
