  3. Recovery

  4. Prevention


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Prevention is not a key step in the data breach response process. It is a proactive measure taken to prevent data breaches from occurring in the first place.

What is the primary goal of the containment phase of a data breach response?

  1. To identify the source of the breach

  2. To prevent further data loss

  3. To restore affected systems

  4. To notify affected individuals


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The primary goal of the containment phase is to prevent further data loss by isolating the affected systems and taking steps to stop the breach from spreading.

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Recovering lost data is not a method for eradicating a data breach. It is a step that is typically taken during the recovery phase of the data breach response process.

What is the primary goal of the recovery phase of a data breach response?

  1. To restore affected systems

  2. To notify affected individuals

  3. To conduct a post-mortem analysis

  4. To update security policies and procedures


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of the recovery phase is to restore affected systems to their normal state of operation and to recover any lost data.
