A SOC handles incident response by following predefined procedures that ensure a structured and efficient approach to managing security incidents. The process begins with identifying and triaging security incidents to determine their severity and potential impact. Once an incident is identified, the SOC team works to contain the impact, preventing further damage or spread. This is followed by a thorough investigation to determine the root cause of the incident. After understanding the cause, the SOC implements remediation measures to resolve the issue and restore normal operations. Finally, the incident is documented in detail for future analysis and to improve the SOC’s response strategies. Understanding how a SOC handles incident response is crucial for maintaining an effective cybersecurity posture and continuously enhancing incident management practices.
