Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The First Responder plays a critical role in the Incident Response process on the CSIRT (Computer Security Incident Response Team).

Here is a list of some typical responder tasks:

-- Make sure that the correct system is identified and photograph the scene, if necessary.

-- Conduct an initial interview (not an interrogation) of any witnesses.

The decision to notify law enforcement requires explicit approval and direction form management and/or counsel. While a First Responder may collect initial data while minimally intruding on the system, no major changes, or indepth media analysis should be performed by the First Responder when initially responding to a suspected incident.

D is the most logical choice, gotta know what we're dealing with first!

Wait, are we really saying A is the first step? That seems off.

I disagree, A seems more critical for legal reasons.

Copying critical data seems risky; I thought we were supposed to preserve evidence instead of moving it around.

Conducting initial interviews sounds right to me, but I feel like there might be other priorities that come first in a CSIRP.

I remember practicing a question about notifying law enforcement, but I can't recall if that was the First Responder's responsibility or someone higher up.

I think the First Responder should focus on identifying the systems involved, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the first step.

Data Scraping sounds like the most relevant option here. That's typically the term used for extracting structured data from web pages, which is what we're being asked to do in this case.

I thought the focus of a supplier evaluation system was on reducing inspection at customer sites, but I could be mixing it up with another concept we studied.

As for the broad distribution, I thought there might be limits on who can issue commercial paper, so I wonder if that's an advantage at all.
