LowMinimal impact, theoreticalBest effort

Response Process

The incident response process follows these steps:

  1. Triage — Assess severity and scope
  2. Contain — Limit potential damage
  3. Investigate — Determine root cause
  4. Remediate — Develop and test fix
  5. Deploy — Roll out fix to network
  6. Communicate — Notify affected parties
  7. Review — Post-incident analysis

Emergency Procedures
