When analyzing a malware family, what is the benefit of grouping malware samples that share common code or behavior?

It allows analysts to identify patterns and develop signatures that detect the entire family

It makes the malware less dangerous

It guarantees the malware will be removed automatically

It eliminates the need for endpoint protection

Why is it important to document the actions taken during a malware incident?

To provide a record for legal and compliance purposes and to improve future response efforts

To automatically patch affected systems

To replace the need for forensic analysis

To increase the speed of malware propagation

What is the purpose of a 'lessons learned' review after a malware incident?

To delete all evidence of the incident

To immediately restore all systems without verification

To identify what went well and what could be improved in the incident response process
