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.
BACKGROUND
Threat Intelligence Platform (TIP) is an emerging technology discipline that helps organizations aggregate, correlate, and analyze threat data from multiple sources in real time to support defensive actions. TIPs have evolved to address the growing amount of data generated by a variety of internal and external resources (such as system logs and threat intelligence feeds) and help security teams identify the threats that are relevant to their organization. By importing threat data from multiple sources and formats, correlating that data, and then exporting it into an organization’s existing security systems or ticketing systems, a TIP automates proactive threat management and mitigation. Modern threat intelligence platforms typically extend across many use-cases to encompass dark web monitoring, leaked credential monitoring, social media, and brand protection in addition to IOCs.
