I’m torn between Follow-up and Response. Response seems more immediate, but Follow-up definitely sounds like it’s about long-term prevention.

I feel like the Follow-up phase is definitely where you analyze what happened and implement changes, so that might be the right answer.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think it was about the Recovery phase, but that seems more about getting systems back online.

I think the follow-up phase is the one that deals with reducing the likelihood of recurrence. The other phases are more about the immediate response and investigation, but the follow-up is where you really address the underlying issues.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure. I know the response phase is about containing the incident, and the investigation is about analyzing what happened. But I'm a bit confused about the difference between recovery and follow-up.
