* Isolating Affected Systems:
* Containment: Immediately isolate compromised systems to prevent further data exfiltration and limit the spread of the attack.
* Minimize Impact: This step helps to mitigate ongoing damage and protect unaffected systems.
* Analyzing Network Traffic:
* Identify Anomalies: Analyze network traffic to identify any anomalies or patterns indicative of the attack. This helps to understand the attack vector and extent of the breach.
* Gather Evidence: Collect evidence that can be used to trace the attacker's methods and identify vulnerabilities.
Additional Steps:
* After containment and analysis, the incident response team can proceed with notifying law enforcement, conducting a system audit, and managing public relations.
