 * Staff reporting unusual activity
 * Staff, clients or public reporting a problem
 * Technical teams/support discovering evidence of an incident on systems.
 * Alerts from IDS, security monitoring systems or anti-virus software, Firewalls or WAFS.


 * Roles:
 * A Security incident owner must be assigned.
 * A point of contact must be available to respond to incidents at all times.
 * A security incident owner must track the security incident to remediation and resolution.


 * Examples of an incident:
 * Virus/malware infection
 * Unauthorised system changes
 * Unauthorised application/web site changes
 * Unauthorised disclosure of client information or information leakage
 * Theft or loss of company information/assets


 * Examples of an event:
 * Reports from intrusion detection system/WAF/Firewall or log scraping system
