Incident response software automates and guides the process of finding and resolving security breaches, monitoring networks, infrastructure, and endpoints for intrusions and abnormal activity, alerting administrators of unapproved access, detecting malware variants, and automating or guiding remediation workflows.

Core Capabilities of Incident Response Software

To qualify for inclusion in the Incident Response category, a product must:

Monitor for anomalies within an IT system
Alert users of abnormal activity and detected malware
Automate or guide users through the remediation process
Store incident data for analytics and reporting
Common Use Cases for Incident Response Software

Security teams use incident response software to detect, contain, and resolve threats that bypass perimeter defenses. Common use cases include:

Monitoring endpoints and networks for unauthorized access and malware activity
Automating remediation workflows for known threat patterns to reduce time to resolution
Storing and analyzing incident data to identify recurring vulnerabilities and improve future defenses
How Incident Response Software Differs from Other Tools

Many incident response solutions function similarly to security information and event management (SIEM) software, but SIEM products provide a larger scope of security and IT management features, including log aggregation, compliance reporting, and long-term threat intelligence, beyond the targeted response and remediation focus of incident response tools.
