Incident Response

Incident response is the structured process an organization follows to detect, contain, eradicate, and recover from a cybersecurity incident. A mature incident response program includes defined roles, escalation paths, communication protocols, and post-incident review processes. In third-party cyber risk management, evaluating a vendor's incident response capabilities is a standard due diligence consideration, as a vendor's ability to detect and respond to breaches directly affects the first party's risk exposure.
