What Is Security Incident Response?

Security incident response is a structured approach to addressing and managing the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack. The goal is to handle the situation in a way that limits damage and reduces recovery time and costs. An effective incident response process involves preparation, identification, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned. Modern IR tools automate and accelerate these phases by providing real-time threat detection, automated playbooks, forensic analysis, and coordinated remediation across the entire security stack.
