Why is continuous improvement crucial for effective incident response, especially in cloud environments? Can’t you just make a playbook and use it?
-
How to overcome the desire to focus on the easy metrics and go to more valuable ones?
-
What do you think Google does best in this area?
-
Can you share examples of how the CI Framework could have helped prevent or mitigate a real-world cloud security incident?
-
How can other organizations practically implement the CI Framework to enhance their incident response capabilities after they read the paper?
