Phishing is an attack that collects client's personal information at an imposter website after receiving an email from a person masquerading as an employee from a bank.
Answer:
a. Remove the affected servers from the network.
Explanation:
An organization's incident response process (IRP) can be defined as all of the process involved in the cleanup and recovery of data when they fall victim to an attack or cybersecurity breach. The incident response process comprises of six (6) important stages and these are;
1. Preparation.
2. Detection and analysis (identification).
3. Containment.
4. Eradication.
5. Recovery.
6. Review of incident activities.
When an organization's IRP prioritizes containment over eradication and an incident is discovered, where an attacker outside the organization installed a crypto-currency mining software on the organization's web servers. Given the organization's stated priorities, the cybersecurity engineer should remove the affected servers from the network.
A containment process is focused on taking steps to eliminate or contain the attack. It basically involves acting swiftly in response to the attack, so as to prevent it from spreading across board or in order to mitigate the damage already caused.
In this context, the cybersecurity engineer should remove the affected servers from the network in accordance with the organization's IRP priority (containment).
<em>Furthermore, he could take a step further to contain the attack by installing a firewall and updating their policies in the Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) of the organization. </em>
