Incident Recovery
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The phase of incident response focused on safely restoring systems, data, and normal operations after containment and cleanup. Good incident recovery includes validation that the threat has been removed and that restored services can be trusted.
In plain English: Getting systems back to safe normal operation after a security incident.
Example: "Incident recovery took longer than expected because every restored server had to be revalidated before reconnecting to production."
