Cevap
The technician should disconnect the physical network cable and disable wireless connectivity, and report the incident immediately to the designated security officer or incident response team.
When responding to an active incident, the first responder's immediate priorities are containment and reporting. Disconnecting network connections (both wired and wireless) stops active data exfiltration and prevents malware from spreading across the local network without powering off the machine. Promptly reporting the event to the designated security team ensures proper incident management escalation while keeping system state preserved for forensic investigators.
