What is the difference between risk management and incident response?

Risk management involves identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential risks that could affect your organisation. It includes developing risk treatment plans and monitoring threats to prevent incidents. Incident response, on the other hand, is all about how your organisation reacts to a security breach or crisis. It focuses on minimising damage, containing the incident, and recovering from the attack. While risk management prevents incidents, incident response ensures your organisation is prepared to handle crises effectively when they occur.
