Incident response is a critical part of an organization’s security posture. Accurately detecting security incidents, and responding to them in a timely and effective manner is your first line of defense. Many organizations don’t have sufficient manpower or expertise in their in-house security team to guarantee 24/7 response to security incidents.
Outsourced incident response services can help you respond faster and react with appropriate mitigation and remediation measures for a large variety of security incidents.
This is part of an extensive series of guides about managed services.
