How to Investigate a Security Alert With No Clear Owner

Alerts can remain unreviewed when ownership is split between IT, a vendor, and business teams.

Checks to make

Assign a triage owner, identify affected assets and data, check alert context and related events, and record escalation decisions. Create an on-call path for unassigned alerts and review ownership after the incident closes.

When to get help
