The primary role of a playbook is to provide a predefined, detailed procedural guide for handling particular types of security incidents. By laying out the steps for response, playbooks ensure that incident handlers can act effectively and consistently in the face of various security events. Playbooks are not vague guidelines or policy documents, they are not comprehensive strategy outlines, nor do they serve as automated remediation systems or solely training manuals for new staff.
