Incident Response at Machine Speed

Incident Response for AI-Speed Threats

Traditional IR vs AI-Era IR

Updated NIST Framework for AI Threats

1. Preparation — Pre-built playbooks, automated containment, AI tools deployed
2. Detection & Analysis — AI-powered SIEM, behavioral analytics, automated triage
3. Containment — Automated network isolation, credential rotation, service shutdown
4. Eradication — Rebuild from known-good state, never clean compromised systems
5. Recovery — Staged restoration with enhanced monitoring
6. Post-Incident — AI-assisted timeline reconstruction, lessons learned

Key Metrics

• MTTD (Mean Time to Detect): Target <5 minutes
• MTTC (Mean Time to Contain): Target <15 minutes
• MTTR (Mean Time to Recover): Target <4 hours for critical systems
