Most commonly, businesses take a reactive approach to incident management. After all, the concept of incident response seems inherently reactive. However, it is possible—and often necessary—to take more proactive measures. This entails identifying potential problems and taking steps to remediate them before they become incidents.
The nature of security and incident management is cyclical rather than linear. Resolving an issue doesn't mark the end of the team's responsibilities. Instead, it signals the opportunity to enhance reliability, strategize, prepare, and prevent similar problems. This is where the incident response helps and comes into the picture. But what is incident response, and what steps are included in the incident response lifecycle? Let's understand them in detail.
In this post you’ll learn how Kosli’s Change Forensics gives DevOps, Platform, and Site Reliability Engineers the ability to rapidly pinpoint and understand changes and events in their infrastructure and applications, and get to the cause(s) of an incident quickly.
In the fast-paced world of software development, every minute counts. When disruptions occur, whether there are minor or major system failures, organizations need to bounce back to maintain seamless operations. That's where MTTR (Mean Time to Repair) steps onto the stage as a game-changing metric. Are you ready to unlock the secrets behind reducing downtime, boosting performance, and ensuring software reliability?
With the growing popularity of Kubernetes as a container orchestration platform powering the microservices revolution, comes greater complexity with managing, monitoring, and responding to incidents at scale. Challenges with real production environments include full visibility into your clusters and environment’s health, alongside real-time incident management and response.
Although the causes and solutions for incidents vary widely, most incidents follow a similar timeline from declaration to resolution. We call the period of time it takes to move from one phase or milestone of an incident to the next cycle time.
As organizations continue to shift their operations to cloud networks, maintaining the performance and security of these systems becomes increasingly important. Read on to learn about incident management and the tools and strategies organizations can use to reduce MTTR and incident response times in their networks.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail. Preparation prior to a breach is critical to reducing recovery time and costs.” (RSAConference) For 83% of companies, a cyber incident is just a matter of time (IBM). And when it does happen, it will cost the organization millions, coming in at a global average of $4.35 million per breach. The damage isn’t only financial, nor solely related to customer loyalty and brand equity.
