Radios enforce crisp comms, every action logs to a unified log, and no one freelances. This model scales from house fires to wildfires, saving lives because signals map directly to predefined responses.
SOCs generate millions of alerts yearly, but 90% prove irrelevant, overwhelming analysts who chase squirrels instead of the fox in the yard. Without clear command, "triage" devolves to inbox roulette—whoever sees it first decides escalation, business impact gets guessed, and shutdown authority hides behind "consensus" chains.
The result: incidents drag from hours to days, even as tools scream.
Mirror firefighters by layering incident command over SIEM/SOAR. Stop debating alarms and start acting on structure.
Map alerts to positions. "Tier 1 Triage" for low-severity noise, "Incident Commander" for P2+, "Business Liaison" for outage calls.
Classify incidents by blast radius. Zone 1 (User Compromise) triggers isolation; Zone 3 (Infra Pivot) triggers network ACLs + CISO notify.
Set hard stops like "no containment in 15 min → auto-quarantine." SOAR enforces this with timed gates and verifies containment
Tuned SIEM/SOAR cuts noise by 70% via behavioral baselines and ML suppression, turning "alert storm" into "actionable signal."
