Description: The Incident Response Lifecycle is a structured framework that guides organizations in managing cybersecurity incidents. This cycle encompasses several stages, from the initial detection of the incident to its resolution and subsequent analysis. Typical stages include preparation, detection and analysis, containment, eradication, recovery, and review. Security orchestration plays a crucial role in this cycle, as it allows the integration of various tools and processes for a more efficient response. In the context of Red Team vs Blue Team exercises, the cycle serves as a training ground where attack teams (Red Team) simulate threats while defense teams (Blue Team) apply the cycle to mitigate and respond to those attacks. Automation is also an essential component, as it enables organizations to respond to incidents more quickly and effectively, reducing response time and minimizing impact. In summary, the Incident Response Lifecycle is fundamental to cybersecurity resilience, providing a systematic approach to handling and learning from security incidents.
