Introducing Incident Response: A Smarter Way to Manage Critical Events

Today, we’re excited to announce the launch of Incident Response, the latest addition to AlertMedia’s platform designed to help you respond faster and more effectively to unexpected incidents.

With Incident Response, customers can now leverage a fully complementary suite of new capabilities, including pre-built scenario plans, task tracking, and real-time collaboration tools to help your team coordinate response efforts, stay aligned, and resolve incidents with greater control and clarity.

How a Disconnected Response Delays Resolution and Drives Up Risk

When critical incidents unfold, security, business continuity, and crisis management teams face pressure to respond quickly and cohesively.

However, due to disparate tools and manual, error-prone processes, many find themselves lacking real-time visibility into recovery efforts or a scalable way to coordinate effective, cross-team collaboration. As a result, response efforts are often siloed and disjointed, leading to longer recovery times and heightened risks to the business.

Compounding these challenges, an increasingly volatile threat landscape continues to create significant operational risks due to a growing volume of major incidents impacting organizations globally. For example:

• In 2024 alone, 27 unique severe weather events caused in excess of $1 billion in damage across the U.S.
• Data breaches reached a record-high of $4.9 million per incident last year—up 10% from 2023.

Unfortunately, as the number of incidents increases, those accountable for driving post-incident response processes find themselves wrestling with all-too-common challenges, such as:

• Disconnected platforms and siloed data, which obscure critical details, delaying situational assessment
• Manual processes and outdated tools that slow threat identification and response procedures
• Poor communication that hampers coordination and accountability
• Lack of post-incident structure, which leaves vulnerabilities unaddressed

AlertMedia’s Incident Response: The Backbone of Resilient Operations

That’s why we created Incident Response—to provide a unified operating picture that enables your team to respond quickly and confidently to any situation. With intuitive workflows, real-time collaboration, and mobile-ready access, Incident Response helps ensure no task is missed, no stakeholder is left out, and no opportunity for improvement is overlooked.

With Incident Response, you can:

• Streamline your response workflows
