Question 2
During a widespread malware attack, a financial institution quickly isolates affected systems, implements enhanced monitoring to track anomaly behaviors, and deploys patches to vulnerable software. Which category of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework best illustrates this scenario?
- A RS.CO
- B RS.MI
- C RS.MA
- D RS.AN
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The Incident Mitigation (RS.MI) category is clearly demonstrated in this scenario, focusing on actions taken to reduce the impact of the cybersecurity incident, such as isolating systems and deploying patches to minimize further damage. Incident analysis (RS.AN) is critical for understanding the cause and scope of incidents, but the focus here is on active mitigation efforts rather than analysis. While communication (RS.CO) is essential during an incident, the scenario highlights direct mitigation activities rather than communication strategies. While incident management (RS.MA) involves organizing and managing the overall response, this scenario is more focused on immediate actions to control damage.
