What does automatic threat response not include?

Automatic threat response is designed to swiftly manage and mitigate threats by employing predefined actions without the need for human intervention. It typically includes activities such as quarantining suspicious files that may be harmful, blocking malicious processes that could compromise system integrity, and isolating compromised endpoints to prevent further damage or spread of threats.

In this context, updating software manually falls outside the scope of automatic threat response. This process often involves user intervention and decision-making regarding what updates to apply, which may require evaluating compatibility and potential impacts on operations. Thus, while automatic threat response focuses on reactive measures to immediate security threats, manual software updates are a proactive maintenance task that ensures systems remain secure and up-to-date.
