Once an incident is confirmed, response shifts from analysis to action. This episode explores containment strategies—isolating infected hosts, blocking malicious domains, and preventing lateral movement without destroying evidence. You’ll learn how eradication removes root causes by cleaning or rebuilding compromised systems, followed by recovery steps that restore normal operations safely. The conversation connects these phases to change management and communication requirements, ensuring every action is tracked, approved, and validated.

Listeners will also hear how forensic imaging, patching, and password resets complement technical restoration with procedural control. The episode emphasizes gradual recovery—verifying systems in isolation before reconnecting them to production—and how metrics like mean time to recover (MTTR) measure resilience. By linking tactical execution to policy, this discussion gives you a complete view of incident response as a lifecycle rather than a firefight.
