Incident Handling
Incident handling is the organized process of responding to and managing cybersecurity breaches or attacks. It involves detecting, analyzing, containing, eradicating, recovering from, and reviewing security incidents to minimize damage and prevent future occurrences.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Incident handling in Cybersecurity & Defense refers to the structured process of identifying, analyzing, mitigating, and recovering from cybersecurity incidents or breaches affecting military, intelligence, or critical national infrastructure systems. It encompasses a systematic framework from detection and initial response to containment, eradication, recovery operations, and post-incident analysis for continuous improvement of organizational security posture.
BACKGROUND
Computer security is a subdiscipline within the field of information security. It focuses on protecting computer software, systems, and networks from threats that can lead to unauthorized information disclosure, theft, or damage to hardware, software, or data, as well as to the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.
