About this listen
Not every alert becomes an incident—but when one does, it needs to be declared formally and escalated swiftly. In this episode, we walk through the process of incident declaration, including the criteria used to define what qualifies as an incident and the steps analysts take to classify severity. You’ll learn how escalation procedures are triggered, how incident levels are assigned, and how teams coordinate response based on predefined playbooks and risk thresholds.
We also discuss how false positives are managed, how incident declaration ties into legal and compliance obligations, and how SOC teams transition from detection to full-scale response. CySA+ will test your ability to recognize when and how to escalate based on scope, impact, and criticality. This episode ensures you understand not just the technical mechanics, but also the organizational flow that transforms an alert into a formal incident. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
