Question

The Security Operations Center (SOC) team is investigating a suspected malware incident in the Analysis Phase of its incident-response process. Its primary goal is to validate the initial detection, confirm that the threat is real, and collect critical intelligence to understand the attack’s scope. Which action should the SOC team take to confirm its initial findings and rule out false alarms?

Explanation

False-positive verification determines whether the detection reflects actual malicious activity or an erroneous or benign alert. This validation is necessary before treating the event as a confirmed malware incident and expanding the investigation.
