After unearthing malware within their AI-based prediction systems, Future Tech Corp realized that their business...

This incident involves adaptive malware embedded within an AI system, actively evolving its behavior. The ECIH malware incident handling methodology prioritizes containment and eradication of the threat before recovery actions. Restoring data without removing the malware risks immediate reinfection and continued manipulation.

Option B is correct because deploying the AI-security module directly targets the malware’s adaptive mechanisms, allowing responders to detect, contain, and eradicate the malicious logic within the AI environment. ECIH emphasizes using appropriate, context-aware security controls that match the technology stack involved in the incident. For AI-driven environments, specialized tools are necessary to counter threats that traditional controls may not detect.

Option A is premature and unsafe prior to eradication. Option C disrupts business operations without resolving the threat. Option D is a communication step that should follow containment and validation.

Therefore, neutralizing the evolved malware using the AI-security module is the correct primary step.
