VerifiedForensics Investigation and Malware Analysis

At GlobalTech, a multinational corporation, the SOC team identifies a suspected ransomware outbreak affecting multiple endpoints. After the infected systems are successfully isolated from the network, the Digital Forensics team, led by Ray Martinez, starts its investigation. They deploy a forensics workstation to acquire RAM dumps, extract Windows Event Logs, and collect network PCAP files from the compromised hosts. Which Incident Response lifecycle phase is now underway?

Explanation

Collecting volatile memory, event logs, and network packet captures from compromised hosts is forensic evidence acquisition and analysis. Isolation of the infected systems is a containment action that has already occurred.
