The three pillars of great incident response

There’s no one-size-fits-all incident response process. Depending on your organisation’s shape and size, you’ll have different requirements and priorities. But the same three pillars form the core of any good process, whether it’s for the largest e-commerce giant or a scrappy SaaS startup.

Three Common Incident Response Process Examples

What makes an engineering team? Communication, collaboration, process, order, and common goals. Otherwise, they would just be a bunch of engineers. The same is true of their tools. Connectivity and process turn a bunch of tools into a DevOps toolchain. If you need a DevOp toolchain, you can use it to easily build an incident response process.

Reliability Through Automation for Your Infrastructure and Applications at Scale

As technology becomes more SaaS-based and organizations deploy applications in multiple clouds, there are requirements for more visibility into the cloud environment and better incident response and resolution automation capabilities. The two elements required to achieve this are integrations and workflows in an incident response software solution and effective experimentation, research, and testing in the cloud and on-premise.

Incidents happen, and any successful organization knows that instead of pretending that one day nothing will ever go wrong, it's far more useful to develop a comprehensive operational response plan. And to do so, you need to know what incident response is! Let's get into it.
