| Item | Matches | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Containment | Limit spread and preserve information for analysis | Isolation prevents continued spread while data supports investigation. |
| Eradication | Remove the root cause and repair affected systems | This stage eliminates the intrusion's cause and cleans systems. |
| Recovery | Restore, validate, and monitor systems | Recovery returns systems to operation and checks for recurrence. |

Contain, remove, restore, then learn.
