Options

  • ALessons learned
  • BRecovery
  • CIdentification
  • DPreparation

Explanation

This question tests knowledge of the incident response lifecycle phases, specifically the post-incident activity where teams review and document what occurred.

Common mistakes.

  • B. Recovery is the phase focused on restoring affected systems and services back to normal operation, not documenting the incident aftermath with employees.
  • C. Identification (also called Detection/Analysis) is the phase where the team determines whether an event constitutes an actual security incident, which occurs early in the response process before remediation.
  • D. Preparation is the phase that occurs before any incident, involving establishing policies, tools, and training so the team is ready to respond effectively when an incident does occur.
