scope:

This Recommendation seeks to assist telecommunication organizations in mitigating the risks from security incidents by providing practical guidance on how to respond to incidents effectively and efficiently. Telecommunication organizations are encouraged to tailor the recommended guidelines and solutions to meet their specific security or business requirements.

This Recommendation presents general security incident management guidelines that are independent of particular hardware platforms, operating systems, and applications to supportively provide detailed implementation guidelines in line with [ITU-T X.1051]. Specifically, it includes guidance on establishing an effective security incident management, but the primary focus of the Recommendation is on detecting, analysing, prioritizing, and responding incidents.
