Explanation

The Network Administrator is responsible for hands-on technical incident response at the infrastructure level. This includes containment (isolating affected network segments), recovery (restoring services and connectivity), and prevention (implementing network controls to stop recurrence). The Security Administrator focuses on policy and access management, while IT Directors provide oversight rather than direct technical response. The Network Administrator has the tools and access to perform these critical operational tasks during a computer-related incident.
