While this process is robust, a common missing element is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for proactive threat intelligence and automated response capabilities. Current processes often rely heavily on manual analysis and human intervention, which can lead to delayed responses and missed threats (Johansen & Leitch, 2020). By integrating AI-driven threat intelligence platforms, the process could be improved by enabling predictive analysis of potential incidents, faster identification of anomalous behaviors, and automated containment actions for known threats, significantly reducing response times and minimizing impact (Al-Omari et al., 2022).
