Incident Response is a methodical strategy for handling and reducing the consequences of security incidents on an organization’s IT infrastructure and data. It encompasses a set of clearly defined steps and protocols designed to curtail the harm inflicted by incidents, uncover their underlying causes, and forestall their recurrence.

This multifaceted approach commences with incident detection and classification, swiftly transitioning to containment and eradication to limit damage. Following this, organizations engage in a comprehensive investigation to comprehend the incident’s origins, scope, and vulnerabilities exploited. Lessons learned from the incident guide subsequent improvements to security measures, enhancing overall resilience.
