Abstract
Incident Response is the process of responding to and handling ICT security related incidents involving infrastructure and data. This has traditionally been a reactive approach, focusing mainly on technical issues. In this paper we present the Incident Response Management (IRMA) method, which combines traditional incident response with pro-active learning and socio-technical perspectives. The IRMA method is targeted at integrated operations within the oil and gas industry.
