C-SIRT assesses information security events and helps in the decision making on whether these events are classified as Security Incidents.

Monitoring baselines are configured using cloud best practices, platform vendor recommendations and 3rd party tooling (such as known incident databases of 3rd party tools).
Automatic monitoring creates incidents from potential compromises (ticket) and alerts the on-duty engineer, who acknowledges the ticket in ITSM system and initiates the remediation.
