Incident Response
Incident response refers to the systematic approach an organization takes to prepare for, detect, contain, and recover from security incidents. An incident could be anything from a cyber attack to a natural disaster affecting IT systems. The goal of incident response is to manage the incident effectively to mitigate its impact, reduce recovery time, and ensure that similar incidents are less likely to occur in the future.
