In the context of incident response, unsuccessful scans and probes are typically considered a low severity level. This is because they often indicate an attempted reconnaissance or mapping of systems rather than a successful compromise or disruption of services. While they should be monitored and analyzed to improve defenses and detect patterns of malicious activity, they do not usually signify an immediate threat to the integrity, availability, or confidentiality of systems.

Definitely D, no real threat if they don't get through!

Yeah, I thought unsuccessful probes might be more serious.

Wait, are we sure about that? Seems like it could be higher.

Totally agree, low severity makes sense for failed scans.

From what I studied, I believe unsuccessful scans are usually categorized as low severity, but I need to double-check that.

I feel like it could be low severity since they didn't actually breach anything, but I could be mixing it up with another topic.

I remember a practice question that had a similar scenario, and I think it classified those as mid severity.

Based on my understanding of incident response, unsuccessful scans and probes would typically be classified as a low severity incident. They're annoying, but they haven't actually resulted in any data loss or system compromise, so they don't require the same level of urgency as a more serious incident.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. Unsuccessful scans and probes could be a sign of someone trying to gain unauthorized access, so I'm not sure if they should be considered low severity. Maybe I should review the details of the incident response plan again before answering.

I'm pretty confident that unsuccessful scans and probes would be considered a low severity incident. They're just attempts that didn't succeed, so they shouldn't be treated the same as a successful attack or breach.

Okay, let's see. Unsuccessful scans and probes don't seem like they would be at the highest severity level, since they haven't actually caused any damage. But they could still be a sign of potential threats, so I'm thinking mid severity level might be the right answer.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different levels of severity and how they might apply to unsuccessful scans and probes.

I disagree, I believe they are at mid severity level.

I disagree, I'd say C. Mid severity level is more appropriate for these types of incidents. They may not be as severe as a full-blown attack, but they still warrant attention and response.

Hmm, I think the answer is D. Unsuccessful scans and probes are usually considered low-level incidents, as they don't necessarily result in any actual damage or data breach.

Low severity makes sense for scans and probes.
