Cybersecurity event and incident management

Event management involves the proactive monitoring and analysis of security events to identify potential threats or anomalous activities. By correlating data from various sources, event management systems can prioritize and escalate security incidents. This proactive approach enables organizations to detect incidents in their early stages, enabling rapid reaction.
Incident management, on the other hand, focuses on systematically responding to confirmed security incidents, following predefined processes and protocols to contain and remediate the incident effectively.
Automation plays a critical role in cyber security by simplifying and speeding up various security processes. Automated security tools and platforms can continuously monitor the organization's digital infrastructure, rapidly identify security events, and trigger predefined responses or remediation actions based on predefined rules and policies. This improves the efficiency and effectiveness of security operations by reducing human error and response times.
