What is Incident Response (IR)?
Incident Response (IR) is the process of detecting, analyzing, containing, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents. It involves coordinated actions to minimize damage and restore normal operations.
IR is supported by frameworks such as Incident Response Plan (IRP) and integrates with Security Operations Center (SOC) activities and Threat Intelligence.
What is Incident Response used for?
Incident Response is used to manage cyber incidents effectively, reduce impact, and improve recovery outcomes. It helps organizations respond to threats such as Malware, Ransomware, and data breaches.
Security teams use IR to improve metrics such as MTTD, MTTA, and MTTR, while strengthening overall Security Posture and resilience.
