Containment Steps for a CSIRT via NIST 800-53 1. Identify - what's on your network and vulnerabilities there are 2. Protect - Setup controls and mitigate them with technical controls (patching, segmentation, ACL's, least privilege) Setup administrative controls via Continous monitoring (CONMON) and processes Detect - Alert triggers via an event, triage to verify if false positive or true positive Respond - isolate (contain) the issue from spreading, remove the infection Recover - Restore systems, update lessons learned Source: https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework/online-learning/five-functions Source: Verifying each answer against Chat GPT, my experience, other test banks, a written book, and weighing in the discussion from all users to create a 100% accurate guide for myself before I take the exam. (It isn't easy because of the time needed, but it is doing my diligence)
