Integrating Incident Response Automation with Cyber Defense Strategies

EasyChair Preprint 14365

Abstract

In the evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the integration of incident response automation with cyber defense strategies has emerged as a critical factor in enhancing organizational resilience. This paper explores the synergy between automated incident response mechanisms and traditional cyber defense frameworks, highlighting how automation can streamline threat detection, analysis, and mitigation processes. By leveraging advanced technologies such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and orchestration tools, organizations can achieve a more proactive and adaptive defense posture. The study examines case studies and best practices to illustrate the benefits of automation, including reduced response times, improved accuracy in threat identification, and optimized resource allocation. Additionally, it addresses the challenges and considerations associated with implementing automation, such as integration complexities, potential over-reliance, and the need for continuous human oversight. The paper concludes with strategic recommendations for effectively combining automation with human expertise to build a resilient and responsive cybersecurity infrastructure.
