Incident Coordination
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The orchestration of people, tasks, systems, and decisions during an incident so investigation, containment, recovery, and communication proceed coherently. It often involves assigning owners, tracking actions, and resolving dependencies between security, IT, legal, and business teams.
In plain English: Making sure all the right people and actions stay organized during an incident.
Example: "Incident coordination became the main challenge once the outage affected identity, networking, and customer support at the same time."
