Automated incident response

Respond consistently when speed matters.

Automation can carry out predefined actions when a security event meets agreed conditions. Examples include quarantining a message or isolating a device. The right approach combines speed with safeguards for important business operations.

Discuss your security needs

Build response playbooks first

A playbook describes the trigger, evidence required, action, owner, and escalation path. Clear rules make it easier to decide which actions can happen automatically and which need human review.

What to discuss in your assessment

Prioritize repeatable, well-understood response tasks.
Require approval for actions with significant business impact.
Record actions and maintain a way to review or reverse them when feasible.

Test before relying on automation

Walk through realistic scenarios, assess the effect on critical systems, and confirm that the right people are notified. Regular reviews help keep playbooks aligned with changes to your tools, team, and environment.
