Incident Containment Process

An Incident Containment Process is a time-critical incident response process that can support incident containment tasks.

• AKA: Incident Isolation Process, Threat Containment Process, Incident Control Process.
• Context:
  • It can typically limit Incident Spreads through incident containment process isolation measures.
  • It can typically prevent Lateral Movements through incident containment process network segmentations.
  • It can typically preserve System States through incident containment process evidence preservations.
  • It can typically maintain Business Operations through incident containment process selective isolations.
  • It can typically enable Forensic Investigations through incident containment process artifact collections.
  • ...
  • It can often implement Network Isolations for incident containment process traffic blocking.
  • It can often disable User Accounts for incident containment process access prevention.
  • It can often quarantine Infected Systems for incident containment process malware isolation.
  • It can often snapshot System Images for incident containment process state preservation.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Partial Incident Containment Process to being a Complete Incident Containment Process, depending on its incident containment process isolation scope.
  • It can range from being a Manual Incident Containment Process to being an Automated Incident Containment Process, depending on its incident containment process execution method.
  • It can range from being a Temporary Incident Containment Process to being a Permanent Incident Containment Process, depending on its incident containment process duration approach.
  • It can range from being a Graceful Incident Containment Process to being an Emergency Incident Containment Process, depending on its incident containment process urgency level.
  • It can range from being a Reversible Incident Containment Process to being an Irreversible Incident Containment Process, depending on its incident containment process restoration capability.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Security Orchestration Platforms for incident containment process automation.
  • It can connect to Network Security Tools for incident containment process traffic control.
  • It can interface with Endpoint Detection Systems for incident containment process host isolation.
  • It can communicate with Incident Management Systems for incident containment process coordination.
  • It can synchronize with Backup Systems for incident containment process recovery preparation.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Network-Level Incident Containment Processes, such as:
    • Firewall Rule Containment Process, blocking malicious traffic patterns.
    • VLAN Isolation Process, segmenting compromised network segments.
    • DNS Sinkhole Process, redirecting malicious domain requests.
  • Host-Level Incident Containment Processes, such as:
    • System Quarantine Process, disconnecting infected endpoints.
    • Process Termination Process, stopping malicious processes.
    • Service Suspension Process, disabling compromised services.
  • Application-Level Incident Containment Processes, such as:
    • Account Lockout Process, disabling compromised user accounts.
    • API Throttling Process, limiting suspicious API calls.
    • Database Connection Termination Process, blocking malicious queries.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Incident Prevention Process, which stops incidents before they occur.
  • Incident Recovery Process, which restores systems after containment.
  • Forensic Analysis Process, which investigates but doesn't contain incidents.
