Stories of an Incident Commander with Brian Yonek

Incident command is ultimately a people business, not a slide‑deck process. Brian Yonek (Palo Alto Networks Unit 42) frames the IC role as guiding “lost hikers in the woods” through containment, eviction, remediation, and recovery – while genuinely caring about them in their worst professional moments. Key takeaways: Every incident is different; rigidity kills. Processes and decks are scaffolding, but flexibility under pressure is what actually helps clients. ICs must orchestrate external stakeholders (legal, insurance, recovery partners, vendors) with clear meeting cadence and two‑way expectations – your schedule is your shield. Stress management is about small wins for clients and honest self‑awareness for ICs: know your limits, recognize burnout signals, and be willing to hand over when needed. Cultural nuance and “so what?” communication matter as much as technical depth; tailor language and focus on the why behind recommendations. AI is a force‑multiplier for hard skills (writing, summarizing, research); empathy, humor, and being human remain the differentiator.
