Response Automation

Definitions

1. The use of automated workflows to carry out parts of incident response such as enrichment, containment, ticketing, token revocation, host isolation, or notification. Response automation improves speed and consistency, but it must be carefully designed to avoid harmful actions on false positives.

   In plain English: Using automation to perform security response actions quickly and consistently.

   Example: "Response automation reduced phishing triage time by revoking suspicious tokens and quarantining the reported message before an analyst even touched the case."
