What does automated incident triage accomplish?

• A. It categorizes incidents based on severity to ensure timely response.
• B. It eliminates incidents automatically.
• C. It delays triage to the next shift.
• D. It generates logs without prioritization.

Answer: (A)

Automated incident triage is about quickly classifying and prioritizing alerts so responders address the most critical issues first. By applying predefined criteria and correlation logic, the system assigns a severity level and routes incidents to the appropriate team, ensuring high-impact events receive prompt attention. This focus on prioritization and accurate routing is what enables timely response. It doesn’t eliminate incidents on its own, it doesn’t delay triage to another shift, and it isn’t about generating logs without prioritization.
