Selected Answer: C
Going with C only because Mean Time to Contain (MTTC) isn't listed on the Exam Objectives (4.2 Explain the importance of incident response reporting and communication). Metrics and KPIs are - Mean time to detect - Mean time to respond - Mean time to remediate

However in the 'About the Exam ' section, compTIA did state that :"PLEASE NOTE: The lists of examples provided in bulleted format are not exhaustive lists. Other examples of technologies, processes, or tasks pertaining to each objective may also be included on the exam,although not listed or covered in this objectives document. "

"how long it takes to stop the spread of malware that enters the network" Knowing Comptia, MTTC not being in the exam objectives don't mean much. They are asking to contain, not to remove/restore. Going with D

Nope that's wrong, you must read the question again, you misunderstood it. To calculate MTTC, you need to take the sum of the hours spent detecting, acknowledging, and resolving an alert, and divide it by the number of incidents. MTTR in cybersecurity refers to the time it takes the team to get the system back up and running after a cybersecurity breach. The question is saying 'Executives are interested in knowing how long it takes to stop the spread of malware that enters the network. ' MEANING FROM THE MOMENT THE BREACH IS IDENTIFIED TO WHEN ITS RESOLVED , EXCLIDING THE HOURS THAT CAN BE SPENT TO DETECT. MTTD is essentially the time it takes to detect an issue, while MTTR tells us how long it takes to repair it.. Therefore Option C is the correct answer.

D is the correct answer as it measures how quickly the team can stop the malware from spreading once it's detected, which is exactly what the executives want to know

Selected Answer: D
D. Mean time to contain Mean Time to Contain (MTTC) is the metric that measures how long it takes to stop the spread of malware once it has been detected in the network. This metric is directly relevant to the executives' interest in understanding the response time to contain malware and prevent it from spreading further within the network.

Selected Answer: D
D. Mean Time to Contain (MTTC) Analysis of the Correct Answer: Mean Time to Contain (MTTC) measures the time required to isolate or neutralize a threat after it has been detected. This is the most relevant metric because it reflects how effectively the team can limit the damage and prevent further spread of the malware. Why this matters for executives: MTTC directly ties to risk reduction and operational resilience, critical concerns for executives. It showcases the team's capability to manage active threats efficiently. Operational impact: A shorter MTTC minimizes the scope and costs of an incident, reducing the likelihood of extended downtime or widespread data compromise.

Selected Answer: C
CompTIA CertMaster 9B lists Mean Time to detect, mean time to respond, and mean time to remediate. There is no "Mean Time to Contain". So the BEST answer is C Mean time to Remediate. CertMaster "Mean Time to Remediate—A metric used to measure how quickly an organization can resolve an incident. MTTR is a valuable metric for evaluating an organization’s effectiveness in responding to and resolving incidents." Answer is C
