Triage
In cybersecurity, triage is the initial process of quickly assessing new security incidents or alerts to determine their severity, impact, and urgency. This helps incident responders decide which issues need immediate attention and how to allocate resources effectively.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Triage in cybersecurity incident response refers to the rapid, initial assessment and classification of security alerts or incidents based on predefined criteria, including severity, potential impact, and resource requirements, to prioritize subsequent remediation actions and resource allocation.
