Incident Response and Management
Incident Response questions always test the order of phases and the containment decision. Memorise the six phases in order and understand why containment comes before eradication — it is the most common sequence trap.
📅 4 days🎯 ~13 questions/day- ✓IR phases: Preparation, Identification, Containment, Eradication, Recovery, Lessons Learned.
- ✓Evidence preservation: chain of custody, write-blockers, and forensic imaging before analysis.
- ✓Containment strategies: isolate vs shut down — choosing based on business continuity vs evidence preservation.
