Incident ResponseDefinition
Incident Response is the organized approach to addressing and managing the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack, with the goal of limiting damage, reducing recovery time and costs.
Buyer context
Some SOC and MDR providers include routine containment, but full incident response may be a separate retainer or emergency service. Buyers should distinguish daily response actions from breach investigation, forensics, legal support, recovery coordination, and post-incident reporting.
