Session overview
Mean time to respond is shaped by the full incident path: signal quality, triage, investigation, decision-making, action, and review. Optimising only one step can move the delay elsewhere rather than improving the operating model.
This session examines the practical levers that reduce response time: Defender XDR correlation, response automation, Security Copilot assistance, and the measurement discipline that keeps improvements honest. The emphasis is on where technology removes friction and where human judgement and governance remain essential.
