Rapidly Trending Topics, Insights, and Analysis: Incident Automation

Incident automation describes the use of AI to handle cybersecurity incident management. Specifically, this system is designed to ensure that cyber incidents are detected and resolved promptly.

Incident automation is quickly becoming a standard cybersecurity practice for a growing number of organizations. That’s because automated incident management reduces the mean time to detection and, thus, ensures that incidents are resolved faster.

Importantly, automation means less involvement from IT staff, reducing the number of human errors (for example, false positives).
