What is an alert handler?

Alert Handlers are professionals responsible for monitoring, assessing, and responding to alerts generated by security, IT, or monitoring systems. Their main role is to quickly identify issues or threats, determine their severity, and take appropriate action to mitigate risks or resolve incidents. Alert Handlers often work with incident response teams and use specialized tools to ensure the safety and continuity of an organization's operations. They also help document incidents and contribute to improving alert systems and response procedures.
