QuestionQ449

Procedures and Methodology

A cybersecurity incident at a Boston-based healthcare provider required the response team to act. They quickly assigned roles, prioritized critical systems for protection, notified executives, and began containing the threat. After removing the malicious code, they restored affected services and later completed a lessons-learned review. Which structured approach best describes the complete method they are following?

  • A Preparation for IH&R
  • B Eradication
  • C Overview of Incident Response Process Flow
  • D Post-Incident Activities
