The Detection & Analysis phase of incident response involves the validation of alerts to reduce false positives and estimating the scope of the incident. During this phase, security teams assess whether the alerts indicate an actual incident, investigate the nature and severity of the threat, and determine the affected systems, data, and potential impact. This phase is critical for accurately identifying the scope of the issue and ensuring appropriate actions are taken in subsequent phases, such as containment and eradication.
