Detecting an incident is only the beginning. In this episode, we examine the containment, eradication, and recovery phases of incident response—what they are, how they differ, and how they build upon one another to restore a secure state. You’ll learn how containment isolates the threat, eradication removes it from the environment, and recovery brings systems back into production while ensuring the threat is gone.
We’ll explore techniques such as network segmentation, quarantine, system re-imaging, compensating controls, and post-eradication validation. Whether you're responding to malware, data exfiltration, or unauthorized access, this episode walks you through the structured response process that minimizes damage and builds resilience. For CySA+ candidates, these phases are central to incident handling questions and performance-based tasks. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
