Service criticality: the incident impacts a service defined as “critical” or “top tier” in the service catalogue (for example, core banking, ERP, customer portal). Scope of impact: a large number of users or locations are affected, such as an entire office, region, or customer base. Timing and business context: even a smaller outage can be major if it happens during a critical window, like month‑end close or a high‑traffic online sale. Risk level: the incident poses risk to revenue, regulatory compliance, safety, or brand reputation, even if the immediate technical impact seems small. Criteria are usually written as simple rules and examples so Service Desk and managers can recognize a Major Incident quickly.

Proactive incident management focuses on preventing incidents before they happen, leveraging monitoring systems, data analysis, and automation. It involves anticipating potential disruptions and taking preventive measures, such as patching security vulnerabilities or upgrading infrastructure. Reactive incident management, however, deals with incidents once they occur. The priority is to quickly identify, mitigate, and resolve the issue to minimize service disruption. This is crucial when unexpected issues arise, such as server outages or security breaches. Examples - AI and Automation: Automation tools are increasingly used for proactive monitoring. - Cloud Infrastructure: Proactive management is essential with cloud-based services to avoid disruptions. Proactive strategies help organizations stay ahead, while reactive approaches ensure issues are resolved efficiently when they occur.

Respuesta de referencia
During a major incident, I prioritize tasks based on impact and urgency. First, I focus on restoring service to minimize business impact, following the 'stop the bleeding' principle. I use a triage approach: identify the severity (e.g., P1 means critical), assign clear roles to team members (e.g., one person leads technical resolution, another handles communication), and defer non-critical tasks. I also rely on predefined escalation paths and runbooks to ensure the most critical issues are addressed first without delay.
31
Respuesta de referencia
A normal incident is any unplanned interruption or reduction in service and follows a standard lifecycle with usual SLAs and normal escalation paths. A Major Incident is a subset of very high‑impact incidents that triggers an enhanced response, such as an incident commander, war room, and frequent communication to leadership. Normal incidents might affect one user or a small group, but Major Incidents usually involve business‑critical services or large user populations. Major Incident Management adds stronger coordination and communication, while still using the same underlying incident record in the ITSM tool.
32
Respuesta de referencia
Incident handling is the process of detecting, analyzing, and limiting the impact of incidents. For example, if an attacker breaks into a system via the Internet, the incident handling process should detect the breach. Incident handlers will then analyze the data and determine the level of severity of the attack. The incident will then be prioritized, and the incident handlers will take appropriate action to ensure that the progress of the incident is stopped and that the affected systems are returned to normal operation as quickly as possible.
33
Respuesta de referencia
To identify recurring incidents, it's essential to use a combination of methods that help in detecting patterns, tracking issue frequencies, and fostering collaboration. Trend analysis helps you understand the root causes and predict future incidents. Incident frequency tracking, using tools like ServiceNow or other advanced service management platforms, enables teams to spot recurring issues in real-time. Collaborating with technical teams also offers insights into whether certain issues are linked to specific configurations, releases, or environmental factors. Methods to Identify Recurring Incidents: - Trend Analysis: Spot patterns in past incidents for future prevention. - Incident Frequency Tracking: Tools like ServiceNow offer powerful analytics to identify trends. - Collaboration with Technical Teams: Use cross-team insights to understand technical patterns.
34
Respuesta de referencia
Candidates should mention techniques such as implementing least privilege access controls, conducting regular security training for employees, using intrusion detection systems, enforcing strong authentication (e.g., multi-factor authentication), performing code reviews, and deploying endpoint protection. They should also discuss monitoring for anomalous behavior and having a robust incident response plan for internal threats.
35
Respuesta de referencia
A Major Incident is a very serious incident that causes a big interruption or severe degradation of an important business service, not just a single user issue. It usually affects many users, a whole site, or a critical business process, such as online banking, payroll, or order processing. Because the impact is so high, it is handled through a special, faster process with dedicated roles and priority, rather than the normal incident flow. The goal for a Major Incident is to stabilize or restore core service as quickly as possible, even if that means using temporary workarounds before a permanent fix.
36
Respuesta de referencia
Communicate with the third-party provider, keep internal stakeholders informed, and find temporary workarounds if possible.
