Description: The incident workflow refers to the sequence of processes involved in managing a security incident. This process is essential to ensure a quick and effective response to any threat or vulnerability that may compromise the integrity of a system or network. A well-defined workflow allows security teams to systematically identify, classify, investigate, and resolve incidents. It includes stages such as detection, analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery, as well as documentation and post-incident learning. Security orchestration plays a crucial role in this workflow, integrating various tools and technologies to automate tasks and improve efficiency. In a Security Operations Center (SOC), the incident workflow is vital for coordinating incident response and ensuring best practices are followed. Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) also integrates into this workflow, providing critical data for decision-making. In the context of cloud environments, the incident workflow adapts to address the particularities of cloud computing, ensuring that applications and services are secure from development to deployment. Automation and response are essential to reduce response time and minimize the impact of incidents, while logging and observability allow for continuous monitoring and ongoing improvement of the process.
