A cybersecurity team has just contained and eradicated a malware infection incident in their network. Which of the following elements is essential to accurately document in the timeline to ensure a comprehensive incident report?
Information regarding the origin of the malware infection
Detailed logs of system activities during the incident
All timestamps related to identification, containment, eradication, and recovery actions
Final steps taken to resolve and close the incident
Documenting all timestamps related to the response actions is essential to create a detailed account of the incident. It helps in tracking the incident from identification to resolution, assessing the speed and effectiveness of the response, and identifying any delays or improvements needed in the process. While information on the malware's origin, detailed logs, and the final resolution steps are important for overall reporting, they are not as crucial for constructing the timeline specifically.
