Description: The ‘Security Playbook’ is a set of procedures and guidelines designed to guide organizations in responding to specific security incidents. This document serves as an essential resource that provides a structured framework for orchestration, automation, and response to cyber threats. Its primary goal is to minimize the impact of security incidents, ensuring that actions taken are consistent, effective, and aligned with the organization’s security policies. A well-crafted playbook includes details on incident identification, risk assessment, containment, eradication, and recovery, as well as internal and external communication during an incident. Additionally, it may include specific roles and responsibilities for security team members, as well as recommended tools and technologies to facilitate the response. The importance of this document lies in its ability to standardize incident response, allowing organizations to act quickly and efficiently, thereby reducing downtime and costs associated with security incidents.
