|-------|--------|---------------|
| Critical | Data breach, full outage | Immediate |
| High | Service degraded, potential breach | < 1 hour |
| Medium | Limited impact, contained | < 4 hours |
| Low | Minimal impact | Next business day |

## Initial Response Checklist

```markdown
- [ ] Confirm incident is real (not false positive)
- [ ] Classify severity level
- [ ] Notify IR team
- [ ] Begin documentation
- [ ] Preserve evidence
- [ ] Implement containment
- [ ] Communicate to stakeholders
```

## Evidence Collection

```bash
# System state
ps aux > /evidence/processes.txt
netstat -tuln > /evidence/connections.txt
last -a > /evidence/logins.txt

# Memory dump
dd if=/dev/mem of=/evidence/memory.dump

# Log preservation
tar czf /evidence/logs.tar.gz /var/log/
```

## Best Practices

- Pre-defined playbooks
- Regular IR drills
- Clear communication channels
