The answer is the second one: Report it immediately.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Assume someone else will take care of it.

    • This is incorrect because assuming someone else will handle the situation can lead to delays in addressing the incident, potentially worsening the impact. It's important to take responsibility and report it to ensure it is addressed promptly.
  2. Report it immediately.

    • This is correct. Promptly reporting a security incident is crucial to mitigate any potential damage, allow for a quick response, and help prevent future incidents. It ensures that the appropriate personnel are informed and can take necessary actions.
  3. If it's a minor thing, don't worry about it and continue working.

    • This is incorrect because even minor incidents can escalate or indicate larger underlying issues. Reporting all incidents, regardless of perceived severity, is important for comprehensive security management.
  4. Our organization will never encounter security incidents, so this is irrelevant.

    • This is incorrect and unrealistic. No organization is immune to security incidents, and having a proactive approach to reporting and managing them is essential for maintaining security and resilience.

In summary, the best course of action when encountering or noticing a security incident is to report it immediately.
