The State of Incident Response 2021
There’s a need now more than ever for security organizations to implement a structured, detailed, and well-practiced incident response plan. As the Navy SEALs training philosophy goes, “slow is smooth and smooth is fast”—a mantra that can, and arguably should, be adopted by all security teams. In incident response, speed comes from being prepared to methodically and efficiently shut down adversaries in cases where they manage to get past defenses.
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light inefficiencies or a lack of preparedness within security teams.

In this report, we’ll dive into the survey results; present insights and analysis from cybersecurity experts; and reveal real-world concerns from organizations.
