Why Choose This Project

Effective cybersecurity incident response requires predefined, organized procedures to quickly mitigate threats. Many organizations struggle with delayed or inconsistent responses due to the lack of a structured playbook. This project enables administrators to create, customize, and manage automated or semi-automated response playbooks for various security incidents, ensuring consistent, timely, and effective actions.

What You Get

A web-based platform that allows security teams and administrators to design incident response playbooks. Each playbook outlines step-by-step actions for different incident types (e.g., malware infection, data breach, suspicious login). Users can simulate, execute, and track the effectiveness of playbooks. The platform provides dashboards, notifications, and detailed reporting for each response action.
