If You Are Doing Incident Response, You Are Doing It Wrong


Short but an excellent article that emphasizes on Incident Management 


According to the article:-

By managing incidents rather than responding to them, you:

  • Reduce the severity of the incidents that do occur.
  • Reduce the number of incidents that do occur.
  • Shift from responding to incidents to managing incidents as part of your normal operations
  • Reduce unforeseen expenses related to incident investigations
  • Increase your visibility within the business, and thus the support for your organization
  • Strengthen security posture (Thank you to Corey)
  • Reduce stress on your staff and increase their job satisfaction (unless they are adrenalin junkies)



An incident management mindset depends on accepting a truism:

Compromise Is Inevitable – Something truly malicious has been in, is in, and will be in your environment.
