Coordinate security incidents from detection through remediation
An incident gets declared. People scramble. Someone forgets to isolate the affected host. Someone else skips the notification to legal. The incident gets contained eventually, but the post-mortem reveals process failures that made everything worse.
How the Incident Response works
When an incident is declared, the agent launches the appropriate playbook. It creates tasks for each response phase, assigns them to the right roles, tracks completion, and escalates when steps stall. Nothing gets skipped because the process is enforced rather than remembered.
Response coordination features:
- Maps incidents to playbooks based on type and severity
- Creates and assigns response tasks with clear owners and deadlines
- Tracks containment status and escalates stalled actions
- Generates timeline documentation for compliance and post-mortems
Why you need the Incident Response
Regulated industries, companies with cyber insurance policies, and any organization that needs documented proof of structured response. Ad-hoc responders benefit from the structure, but compliance-driven teams get the most value.
How the Incident Response compares
Cybersecurity Automation handles pre-incident triage and enrichment. Incident Response handles post-declaration coordination. They work together: Automation identifies the threat, Response manages the remediation.
