This May Be Hurting Your Incident Response Efforts...

Apr 16, 2026

Some of the biggest delays in incident response aren’t caused by the attacker… they’re caused by the first steps taken after discovery.

A few examples of well-intentioned actions that can unintentionally slow investigations and extend recovery timelines:

  • Powering off systems too quickly
  • Resetting credentials before understanding persistence
  • Over-isolating environments without business context
  • Waiting too long to preserve logs
  • Too many teams jumping in without coordination

Resilience isn’t built during an incident. It’s built before one ever happens.
