Once the smoke clears, the real improvement begins. In this episode, we explore the post-incident phase of the incident response lifecycle. You’ll learn how forensic analysis is conducted to uncover technical root causes, how timeline reconstruction helps validate scope and sequence, and how organizations document lessons learned to avoid repeating mistakes.
We’ll also discuss how post-incident review meetings are structured, who participates, and what outcomes they should produce—from procedural updates to technology changes to policy rewrites. This episode underscores the value of continuous improvement in security operations and prepares you to answer CySA+ questions that ask, “What comes next?” after an incident is resolved. Real analysts don’t just recover—they evolve. Brought to you by BareMetalCyber.com
