Security Incident Response (SIRT)

Security Incident Response (SIRT) involves the systematic approach to managing and mitigating cybersecurity incidents, including detection, analysis, containment, eradication, and recovery. It focuses on minimizing damage, preserving evidence, and restoring normal operations after security breaches. This skill requires coordinating technical, legal, and communication efforts during high-pressure situations.

With the rapid adoption of AI systems across enterprises, companies face novel attack vectors targeting machine learning models, training data, and AI infrastructure. Organizations like Anthropic, Databricks, and Datadog need specialized incident response capabilities to protect their AI platforms from adversarial attacks, data poisoning, model theft, and AI-specific vulnerabilities that traditional security teams may not recognize. The growing regulatory landscape around AI safety and security makes robust incident response critical for compliance and customer trust.
