Definition
Incident response is the organized approach to addressing and managing the aftermath of a security breach or cyberattack — detection, containment, eradication, recovery, and lessons learned.
Key Points
- Parallel federal breaches (DMDC, FBI) require separate IR playbooks — no assumed shared attacker (2026-10-01-federal-agencies-hacks-sensitive-data)
- Firms like hive-security publish breach assessments distinguishing unrelated incidents
- Cross-border prosecutions involve MLAT timelines extending beyond typical IR windows
