Threat Containment Defined<\/h2> <\/div>\n

Threat containment is a cybersecurity process used to stop a detected security threat from spreading across an organization’s network, systems, or endpoints. It is one of the most critical phases of incident response, helping security teams limit damage while they investigate and eliminate the threat.<\/p>

When a cyberattack, malware infection, ransomware outbreak, or unauthorized access attempt is detected, containment measures are immediately applied to isolate affected systems and prevent further compromise.<\/p><\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
