Incident Response is a structured approach to managing and addressing security breaches and cyberattacks swiftly, minimizing damage, and restoring normal operations while preserving evidence for investigation.
Rapid Mitigation:
Incident Response enables swift identification and containment of security breaches, minimizing the impact on operations and reducing potential damage.
Damage Limitation:
By promptly addressing security incidents, organizations can limit the extent of data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage.
Evidence Preservation:
Incident Response procedures ensure proper preservation of evidence, facilitating forensic investigations and legal proceedings for effective resolution.
Tools Used in Incident Response:
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management):
SIEM solutions collect, analyze, and correlate security event data from various sources to detect and respond to security incidents in real-time.
Incident Response Platforms:
Platforms such as IBM Resilient, Splunk Phantom, and Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR streamline incident handling processes, from detection and analysis to response and recovery.
