incident response
A structured approach for detecting, managing, and recovering from security or operational incidents to minimize impact and restore normal operations quickly.
Incident response is a systematic process for identifying, analyzing, and resolving security or operational incidents in IT environments. It involves preparation, detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and post-incident review to minimize damage and prevent recurrence.
Effective incident response plans define roles, communication protocols, and escalation procedures, enabling organizations to respond swiftly and coordinate efforts across teams. Automation and integration with monitoring, alerting, and ticketing systems enhance response speed and accuracy.
Robust incident response capabilities are critical for maintaining business continuity, regulatory compliance, and customer trust in cloud-native and AI-driven organizations.
