  2. Verify Alert Severity
    🔍 Check if alerts are High, Medium, or Low priority.

    • High: Immediate action required (e.g., brute force attacks).
    • Medium: Investigate further (e.g., suspicious login attempts).
    • Low: Log for future analysis (e.g., benign traffic patterns).

  3. Automate Response Where Possible
    🤖 Implement automated workflows for common threats.

    • Block IP addresses via firewall rules.
    • Quarantine suspicious files using endpoint protection.
