Explanation

NIST SP 800-61 Rev. 2 outlines the Incident Response Lifecycle, which includes distinct phases for actively identifying and analyzing security incidents, as well as conducting crucial follow-up activities.

Common mistakes.

  • D. Vulnerability management is a proactive process for identifying, assessing, and remediating vulnerabilities, which is separate from the reactive incident response process.
  • E. Risk assessment is a broader security governance activity that identifies, evaluates, and prioritizes risks, rather than a specific step in handling an ongoing security incident.
